my friend decided he wanted blue bulbs in the door sills of his prelude. He went to the local auto shops and no one has these tinted 194/161/etc bulbs in stock. So genius here decides to color his current ones with a blue sharpie marker......(honda owners im tellin ya). He colored the bulb but not the flat connection area. It is indeed blue, but is that safe?? I know these bulbs dont normally stay on too long but could the bulb melt? burn up?

 

shouldnt be any kind of safety issues that i can think of, the blue marker may burn off though but it wont damage anyhting, idk...

 

it is safe... like 97blackSEgold mentionned, eventually, it will "burn" off..
being a previous honda owner as well, , I sprayed my 194 bulbs red ( too cheap to buy realred 194 bulbs), it was good, but eventually the "paint" simply crackled off( this was for my license plate lights, so they are lit up longer then the door lights)...

but overall, yeah, nothing wrong with colouring the bulbs

 

thnx guys ill pass it on, so u used paint digi?

 

it will just burn off it a matter of days

 

what does this have to do with 4th gen nissan maximas?
of course a honda owner would do that. tell him i have a bunch of blue 194 wide angle leds if he wants to buy some.

 

i considered doing it as well if it was safe because it worked suprisingly well. instead i found em at walmart, but thats what it has to do with maximas.

 

alright lol. id say get some 194 LEDS of ebay. i bought like 10 red and 10 blue for like maybe15 bucks i think

 

yea these ones r OK for now but not as bright as the LEDs will be. im thinking blue led in the doors and white led in the cabin/private lights if i can find those bulbs in led.

 

are our door lights 194's? and are the cabin lights 194 too?

 

the doors are 162's, but pretty much all 162, 164, etc can be substituded with 194's safely. The cabin lights are odd looking, i gotta grab my cds from my car anyway ill pop the ocver real fast n grab the #

 

door yes, roof, no

 

the dome/reading bulbs are 177's

 

roof, yes =] found em
