I was wondering if anyone knew where to get decent quality blue replacement bulbs for my 98 rl. I found some cheapos at autozone, but the blue burned off??? they are a dirty white now. I am looking to create a blue themed interior to my car. Any help is appreciated thanks.

and here's the cross-reference to see which types are equivalent

Eventually I'm looking to do an all white LED interior on my '99. They just look so much better than filament bulbs.

 

Wow thats thorough!!! Thanks
So do any websites carry most of those in high quality blue leds?

 

looks like superbrightLEDs definitely does.
also, eBay is your friend. just make sure you're getting the right size (look at that cross-reference chart) and realize that it'll take 3 weeks if coming from china.

when you do get them, you need to remember that LEDs only work one way, so if they don't turn on at first, just flip them around and they should work

 

thanks, i ordered 5 blue 5bulb 168's and 5 4 bulb 3022's

 

I put white LEDs all around the inside of my 97, looks much better.

While your at it, get 2 extra of the wedge-based bulbs and replace the license plate lights, makes the back of the car look really nice.

 

I put blue ones in my interior and they look great.
I am very pleased, I am now looking to do the gauge cluster conversion like so many of you did.
