for the maplight LED's covert1 mentioned that high power LED's would have too high a heat consideration in that specific application.

that in mind- you can make your own as long as you provide that it does not get too hot. (heatsinking and not running it at full power)

for the maplights, i would use three 5mm instead of a high power single.
for the domelight i would use 5 or 6.

make sure to calculate the resistors correctly for the circut you build and away you go.
