Default LED some light replacement

I pulled the old dome light on my 2000 XJ out and I'm wanting to get a new, possibly smaller fixture to take its place with LED's. Having trouble finding a fixture; keep getting bulbs and eBay links in Google. Any ideas?

I redid all my interior lights. I just hard wired in little led panels. Easier than trying to match bulbs and they're brighter than any bulbs I've tried.

Here is an option: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f73/in...d-sets-188996/

I have a set and it is literally night and day difference from stock light output. I did the hit a miss for quality bulbs with my rv van, this guy has already done it for us cherokee owners.

I'm looking for a whole new smaller footprint housing. The old stock housing is messed up.

Wouldn't you have to redo the headliner to cover the hole behind it? I would just go to the junkyard and get one. Too much work and time and they aren't that big at least in my opinion.

The panel I used has 3m adhesive on the back so if I were you I would just wire it in then stick it to the ceiling.
