[Supras] 1989 Dome Light Bulb again

[Sean Cavanaugh]

I removed the metal clips that held the bulb and just soldered the wires 
directly to the contacts on the festoon style bulb (holds 9 LEDs in a 3x3 
array) and taped the bulb in. I actually rewired mine from scratch so that 
the door open lights were blue while the map lights were white. I'll get 
some photos of it later then if you really wanna see what it looks like.
