Last time I used these http://www.sharkoon.com/html/produkt.../index_en.html

It was done in Renault Laguna which has a dimmer.
They dimmed as expected and they're still working like a charm

That works. Another option that I like better than CCFL lamps is EL wire. It is flexible, won't break if you bump it, and extremely power efficient.

That's tight
Do you know which one should have the same brightness as those CCFL I mentioned earlier? Maybe HIGH BRIGHTNESS STANDARD WIRE?

The high brightness standard should be very similar to if not brighter than the ccfl. The other handy thing about EL wire is that you can cut it to any length, whereas the ccfls come in set sizes.

If they don't, just do a web search for "EL wire". You should be able to find someone over in that area that carries it.
