I used 2 miniture eyeball cockpit lights P/N 11-07800 @ $13.95 each thru
Aircraft Spruce. They are small single white LED's positioned in the
overhead. Just enough to faintly light the instrument panel or can be used
for chart work. I backed these up with a small articulating light holding 4
red LED's. This used to be available thru Aircraft Spruce but is no longer
carried.
