Hey peeps. Does anyone know where I could find interior light bulbs in a different color besides white for my 95 240sx? My 91 Probe GT had interior bulbs that where the type you put in the 95 240sx tag lights. I had the whole interior lit up in blue.

just go to autozone or pepboys. i've seen them there now in mass quantities in the rice section. not saying that colored bulbs in the interior are rice (got some myself) but you know what i'm talkin bout

i tried them both. nothing.the autozone around here has become nothing more than a store for people who want 3 inch muffler tips put on rinky dink tailpipes. They won't spend the money for a decent exhaust system. autozone, pep, and advance had nothing but clear boring white lights.

You might wanna check out your local tuning shop. My friend and my bro got their interior lights there, the color is like artic blue., they look pretty phat but dont give off any light, for show mainly, they were a b!%&/ to put in though. They were made by prospeed1

Take the lights out and cover the contacts with tape. then go to a hobby shop and but some transperant model paint. Use a good 3-6 coats and it should work fine. I did this to my cluster lights and it now glows red.

thats a good idea bandit. unfortunately, i live in BFE. so the only hobby shop we have around here is stupid wally world. they don't have anything at all when it comes to hobby supplies. however, i am NOT repeat. NOT doing what one guy i know did: use spray paint. his entire truck is spray paint blue. granted it's a decent job, still........ dignity. so anyone with any info on bulb companys let me know. PLEASE?

do you only want to buy something locally or are you just not comfortable ordering stuff online? there are plenty of shops that sell interior bulbs. . . http://www.optauto.com being one of them. . . just a thought. . .
