Hi y'all...

question:

I am into BlueLight - i want to change all interior lights (including Instrument-lighting) to blue.
Do any of you know a place where I can get blue coloured LEDs? I mean the little light bulbs that are behind the instruments.

Hints welcomed!

Thanks!

Yeah, just be careful with globe covers... I still have a peppermint dash, and haven't got around to removing those globes... it's embarrasing :P

I did it the lazy way. Bought some cheap LED bulbs from ebay. Tried the 6-LEDs blue dome bulb. Was blue alright but not bright enough. Could hardly see anything in the car at night. Bought another one- 9 LEDs xenon white bulb. Much better.

i used phillips blue vision 5w wedge bolbs in my instrument cluster, so while they arnt blue, if u see a white led lit late model car, it looks like that, then with a second gen, you change the color of the front lights to give them a very cool, in my case, green gauges with white dials. looks horn
