Default LEDs to replace cabin lights??

Has anybody found any warm white LEDs that will replace the light bulbs over the driver's head and the glove compartment?

I'm interested in making sure no one can run the battery down by leaving a door or something open on my 1973 911. Not interested in tail lights, parking lights, etc.

I know about superbrightleds but am looking for specifics.

Thx.

I replaced the ones above the driver and passenger on my '87 with warm white LED's from superbrightleds. I believe it's these:

Color temp is not exactly the same as the incandescent bulbs that came out, but it's still warm white and less likely to run down the motorcycle battery in the car.
