Now that we were talking about interior lights wanted to jump in on it.
2 years ago while i was searching for some extra light sources at local
PYP i stumbled upon very nice overhead cluster that had 3 separately controled lights
(center, driver and pass.) and bunch of buttons for sunroof control. Best cluster i've ever seen.
 So, i took screwdriver and removed it, paid ar. $6 and installed it in my Westy.
Added garage opener pcboard inside the cluster too.. The only mod i did was making
spacer out of plywood because of parts sticking out, didn't want to make cutout in headliner.
Cluster came from Huynday Sonata of few years back vintage luxury packaged
Highly recommend! There are plenty of good lights available at PYP at very low price.
