Re: Interior Bulb Replacement... Blue!

hey Gir, i was doing the colored lights thing a while back. The paint and most colourd bulbs suck. Leds are great because the colours are more solid, but do require some wiring/soldering. I ended up using the silicon gels that cover the bulbs, easy as pie to install. The window/lock buttons in the doors uses a thin gel over a clear bulb. Pulled that off and cover'd with part of a gel. Most places, the zone and advance hav the gels, I dont remember what the cost, probley cheaper than leds but more expensive than cheap painted bulbs. I mean think a minute, its glass, not alot sticks to glass essp when it gets hot.

194's have been a commen bulb used on severaal years of cars. the 194 w/leds might be a really nice colour, hadnt seen them before.. The dome bulbs do look cheaply painted(chips off), but the silicon gels are heat restistant pretty much and the colour is a darker blue(the ones i used from the zone).I hav tried to change all the dash to blue also but its complicated to replace the shit load of leds they used. I couldnt find the liquid gel the factory uses, most people didnt even know what the hell i was talking about.
