They don't sell any touch or dual color lights in the US. I just checked.
The dual colour also has the added benefit of a on/off touch switch on the front of the light which is really handy if you want to add a second light into the circuit and be able to switch them independently. Also means you don’t have to go inside the car to switch it off. Worth it over the standard version if you can find a source to buy it. Here is the Micro Touch Dual Colour mounted on the side.

The wire on the light is quite short. I ordered a roll of basic twin core wire from Amazon (think it was 2.5mm or 3mm core), cut off the connector on the light and spliced it into the existing cable, soldered the join and then covered with heat shrink. The join sits behind the light, this allowed me to cleanly run the wire behind the rubber gutter corner piece. Put a DTP plug on the other end to go into the roof socket.

I did not want a plug connection between the light and the roof socket to keep the wire run as clean and unobtrusive as possible.
Here are pics of the wire run. It would not be that hard to run it internally and exit near the roof socket, might try that at another time.
