Dome light improvement

One of the few things on my new Fit Base, m/t, that I don't like, is the dim dome light.
Does anyone know of an replacement dome light, that has map lights in it?

Today, I replaced the dinky bulb, with a a 48 led setup, that replaces the orig. bulb. Wow! what a difference. I don't think map lights would be any better, for reading. I would prefer a dome light (not as bright as the led) and 2 map lights, but in the mean time, this will work fine.
Got 2 of these for $6. delivered! Each one even came with 3 different adapters for different bulbs.

I believe mine was just a 24-led board:

Here is a link. http://www.ebay.com/itm/10x-White-48-SMD-LED-Panel-Car-Interior-Light-Bulb-T10-BA9S-Festoon-Adaptors-/380593328742?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item589d215266
The same seller sells 2 of them, with bidding.
I bought 2, so I would have a spare, or in case I had another use for it.
I have a 12 x 24 storage shed, that is too far from the house to run electric. (at a reasonable cost) I may buy 10 of them, and use a battery for power.

Here's an idea. Buy 10 of them. Keep 2, then sell the remaining 8 to a member, for $16. That buyer could do the same. Each members cost for 2, would be about $5-6 after postage.

Can someone tell me why I can't post pictures? At the bottom of this page, it says I can't post attachments. ????
