i want blue bulbs that will illuminate the whole dash. not like the damn led bulbs i put in today that only illuminate the spot where they are. i bought blue colored bulbs off ebay, but they are white. now i got these leds, and they are very blue, but only in a small spot. i want the whole dash blue!!! anyone got a link or a place where my dash dreams can come true?

 

You need to get a led with a very wide angle. Like over 45 degrees.

 

have you attempted to use wide angle LEDS?

just get blue blubs.... not hyper white. hyperwhite have a blue coating on them, but when they are powered, they are white with a tinge of blue. you can also try the wind angle leds tha kevlo was talking about, but i am not sure how good they would look in the dash.

I have the Polarg Hyper Whites behind there too and its nice but I have a very light hint of purple...very light. What about you?

 

i have a hint of blue with mine... no purple to be seen...

-Chris

 

Here's a pict of my 96 Se gauges with polargs.


Very BRIGHT over stock!!

 

Whoa...yours have more of a purple hint than mine...mine are very light...

 

Yeah, I'm thinking maybe it will burn off with time.

 

I thought about putting the bulb condoms that were on the OEM ones on the Polargs but it is such a pain in the @ss to take the whole thing apart again...

 

Humm, i wound how that would look? Duller?

 

I dunno, maybe...Now I am tempted to spend an hour or so tomorrow trying it out, waiting until night time, not liking it, and then re-doing it Sunday morning...haha.

 

Do they have polargs in blue?

 

eck... that is ugly. sorry... not a big fan of purple. to each his own though!

-Chris

 

yea...little too purple.

If you want to run 194s, my kragen (dont know about all) sells blue 194s. they wouldnt be as bright as hyperwhites, but would look a lot more blue.

 

Yeah, i'm really diggin that ONE bright button on your dash man!!

 

Any recommendations for good hyper whites that wont turn the gauges light purple? I want the best possible bright white color!

 

I bought these PIAA HID 194 ones and they are blue/purple. No white at all. Anyone want them? 5 bucks!

 

My gauges already bunt off the purple color, now thier mainly bright white.

 

Hey, leave my button alone. you can ask anyone on this board that has done this mod, and they all have the same problem with the "temp" button. and what does my buttons have to do with the subject? just needed something to pick on me for because i didn't like you gauges?

I have blue bulbs from autozone, they are very dark blue when you first buy them. Now they are starting to fade and are giving me a blueish white.

 

blue bulbs fade and make your **** look super green. it sucks. i just bought indiglo cause i am tired of tricking with this crap.

 

ive seen some blue 194s run for a long time.....no fade

 

Ya i know about those bulbs, they are a lighter blue and turn green. These are dark blue coated and will not fade green.

 

kragen sells incredibly dark blue coated ones (and red, green, etc) i believe that is what you are refering too kevlo

 

Yeah, I put some blue 194 bulbs from pepboys, they're like light blue/green compared to my blue window switches.

What is Kragen? is it a store or what, anyone got a link.

I need darker blue lights ASAP!
