Cherie,
        I replaced all my dome lights with the ABI units that I belive =
are 12
watts. Their white and red lamps with a switch for the red/white, and
the on switch is on a dimmer. I find I can use them at a very low
intensity and the red are what the night requires. I think they were
about $18.00 each and all the screw holes are the same. Will S/V
