They look like these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/263708166675
You can find them all over the Internet, including Amazon. Just search "visor vanity LED"

Just in case you haven't worked with LED swaps before, they are mostly polarized. If they don't work one way, flip them the other way and they'll work. BTW - these are BRIGHT! They light the interior better than the other interior lighting.

Online somewhere (eBay maybe?). If interested, I'm selling that engine cover (with or without the badges). I bought a second one that will be painted (whenever I get some time!). I was gonna wrap it, but I'd prefer a color match with the car's paint.

Vanity light replacement
#25
I did this and goofed the first time resulting in a blown dome light fuse. The fuse was easy to replace but annoying so here is my "learning from experience" recommendation.
Use a quite small thin bladed screwdriver and pry off the white lens cover from one of the edges. It feels at first like it won't come loose but go ahead, all is good and give it a pry.. It will pop off into your lap (haha). Now here's the place to be careful. DO NOT use anything metal to pull out the old bulb. My first attempt I just went ahead and used the same screwdriver and accidentally touched the terminal and resulted in the blown fuse I mention above. I found using a plastic fuse puller (see the picture below) was just the right size. You can get these for about a dollar.
Out comes the old bulb. I then used the same fuse puller to put the LED in. With a little help from my fat fingers all went well. As was mentioned previously in this thread, LEDs can be put in reversed polarity, so if it doesn't light up the firt time, remove it and swap end to end.
I hope this helps. The LED light looks much better in my opinion
