Chaning bulbs of inside light

You know when you open your doors and the lights turn on in the inside?
I dont know what it is specifically called.
Well I want to change the bulb to a blue one, where can I get a blue bulb, or any other colours?
Will it be easy to fit in?
Did electronics a few years back, should know a few things.

You can get colored bulbs at Super Cheap or Peps,
Yes it is easy to do but take your old one out first so you know what type to get to replace it with.

Here's a question then:
On newer cars nowadays, you open the doors and the light goes on... then when u close em, the light stays on for a fraction, then fades off.
How would one (with a lil bit of electronic know-how) get a normal instant-off light setup to stay on for a bit and then fade out? some kind of capacitor in the circuit right?

Ohh I thought you wanted to change to an instant off.
You'll need alot of stuff i assume.
Best to go to the pro's, I would also liek to do this.
Let us know if anyone knows how to do, I want a blue fading light.
So cooool!

they should be easy to find. but i think they will look shit, and give very poor lighting.
you will probably looking for "festoon" globes for an interior dome light

Pfft.. $19 ??
no way!
i swear if u literally wired a normal capacitor (wiv the right C - trial and error?) into the circuit directly you could get a similar thing to happen. of course the fade wont be very strong, but it should work rite?

Not everyone has some experience with these.
To DIY, I think take out the circuit board, make a circuit path with some sort of wire, and solder it down?
Dont have soldering iron, and little experience, people may as well buy it.
