I put in a LAME pep boys like 1/10th watt blue light into my map/convenience light (front near the windshield with the little push button.) Now I can't see anything it is soooo dim.

Anyone know what KIND of bulb this is, and where i can buy a BRIGHT BLUE bulb for it?

thanks,

I know, I know, We got to save money but why don't go the dealer, get part number from bulb, shop around, and if you don't find....back to the dealer you go!!

 

Dealer only has clear bulbs, like most retailers. If I wanted a clear bulb, it would be very, very easy. I want BLUE.

Does anyone know what TYPE of bulb and where to get a BRIGHT BLUE one?

I got the answer to your question Anthony...

Polarg Hybrid M-16 (no, not the rifle). Jane and I have them as our dome lights

Polarg Hybrid M-26... map light.

The both are blue, but sort of dim. Sorry, no pics... but they can be available upon request.

 

Here go the pics:

hahaha that pic looked real familiar, no prob. oh can u email me.. jane said she wanted more bulbs?? sorry i was real tired earlier today. it's tuesday.. or call me up.

 

It'll call you (or see you online) on Thursday or something. Have to go somewhere tonight.

 

On my old max, I took the white map light and painted it with blue stuff from an arts and crafts store that you use to "stain" glass. The effect was a bluish tint but much brighter than the dim autozone bulb I tried in there. You can also adjust the thickness of the stuff to alter tint/brightness.

 

I really like that idea. Thanks!

Also, you're not limited the clear/red/blue if you want to do the inside of the car. Just have a few bulbs to monkey around with because you probably won't get it right the first time. I certainly didn't. Enjoy.
