RED LEDs for front maps lights 2024?

[ThumperF150]

Is anyone making replacement red LED bulbs for the front map lights in the 2024 F150? I have Googled without luck and reached out to F150LEDs but they do not currently make them.

TIA

Hmmmm

OK. Has anyone been successful in “tinting” the lens red?

Red sharpie wide tip.
I saw once a piece of red plastic on the lense
Still ugly
Blue works better for night
But no blue is available

I’ve always only seen and heard about red )had it in prior cars) and it’s often what is in police cars. Infact I saw an officer use the red brake light tape over this dome light to achieve this effect. https://thehikingauthority.com/what-color-light-for-night-vision/

Blue in my past. Is best for dark
The eyes adjust or less impacted by glare.
Yes police seems are all red
I am sure a brain here has the physics behind blue bs red

But bottom line.. either a red or blue would be sooooo much better than bright white glare

Bit my night hunting light uses green that reaches out really far, and pigs don't seem to notice green, where as they do the red??

That tape might be just what I need. Thanks.

I’m hoping I never need to kill pigs in my truck. ?

But if they become an issue I’ll try to remember your tip about the green light.

Thinking back to navy days
We had red, blue, green all on the displays or controls in landing booth.

Can you expand on where you put the tape? Also some day time pics?

I just taped over the lens of the map lights. Then I used a razor to trim around the edges. If you get up real close you can see it is not perfect. But from driver or pass seat no one would ever notice.

And the roll of tape was only $6 at AutoZone. It peels right off as well. So any mistake is easily correctable.

It is overcast here this morning. Here are two more photos lights on and off from the driver’s view.
