Glovebox and floor lighting

Glovebox and floor lighting
I recently purchased a bunch of bulbs from jDMToy and have been very happy with the stronger light. I have replaced the map lights, vanity lights, puddle lights, glovebox light, and floor lights. Everything I got was a warm white with the exception of the glovebox and the floor lighting. The glovebox is fine, but the floor lights are way to white for me, but again I do light the brighter light.
Here are the lights I was looking at on their site: http://store.ijdmtoy.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=t5
Do you know if there are any LEDs that will fit the lights for the floor and the glovebox that are the warm white versus the white light?
I did some searches but couldn't find anything.
Thanks in advance.

I have a 2004 gx 470 as well as a 2005 sc430/ On my GX i wanted to change the foot well bulbs to a led strip. Got the strip and come to find out the voltage at the foot well bulb is 6 volt. This is normal and the foot well bulbs are just faint.and are intended to be on 6 volt
I am wondering if the foot well on my sc430 is also 6 volt. I was going to add the led strip to the sc430. But if its six voltI will have to find anotehr power source thats hot all the time and then trigger the foot lights with the neg wire from the oem foot well bulbs. I have to check and see if the voltage is 6 or 12 volt

ebay has several T5 warm white LEDs for sale, including the 37 compatible ones.
That is interesting mrblister that the GX foot well bulbs were driven with 6V. Most likely that was to mute the light so it wouldn't be so bright shining directly up into the person's face. I'm not sure if you'll find any 6V LED versions. I didn't see any on a quick search.

One more thing: the T5s I bought (JTech's from ) don't really fit into the socket. I had to trim the plastic with a cutter to make them go in. It took a while, and I broke 2 or 3 when I cut the (very thin) cable by mistake.
After about an hour of fighting them, I managed to get one in... only to be really disappointed by how dim it was and soldering a couple of cables to hook up a 198 LED...oh well...

am using a surface mount low profile strip of LED "s They are bright and will do what I want them to do. I plan to mount them on the lower panel trim facing down with 3 m tape drill a small hole for the 2 wires and then positap them into the original foot well bulb harness so both will work
