these bulbs..

you can get em all off of ebay. go to the automotive interior lighting section and search for 194 led, youll find em pretty cheap.

i would be careful with the ebay ones that are chinese cause i bought some for the tail lights,dome light and reverse light just to see if they are worth it and there not the factory tail light bulbs are brighter and the ebay one broke in the bottom when i tried to twist it on it wouldn't fit right so be careful.

also true. i got the above ones from tmart.com, i paid a grip for em but you see they work pretty well... of course my camera doesnt capture all of the light they emit in the gauges but you get the big idea.

Hey I think wasting money on interior LEDs is lame. This is what I did to solve interior lighting issues in my MC. Since who needs a 'map light' inside the dashboard these days, I pushed that set of wires back at angle pass through the p-side corner and they dropped down to the corner of the car then I taped it in place - after all my carpet was old so of course I wouldnt want a passenger to kick the bulb by mistake and start a fire lol

My plan was eventually to replace the corner kick panel w/ something clear and anchor the bulb behind it.

For those rear lights I found at Advanced Auto some blue bulbs that come in a cylinder shape. They were only like $2 and glow neon blue, but they were just regular bulbs. I thought they might be weak, but for $2 the test was affordable. The blue lights really set off the rear of the car and actually lit it up nice. I never got to do the dome light on that car which was missing. I'm actually not sure if the t-top cars are even supposed to have a dome light because I didnt get that far. There was a light set up behind the ashtray in my mc, so I planned to run the wire left behind the steering column and hardwire extension around the D-side upper window edge. My headliner was off, so if I put it after the wire went to the rear center of the car I'd have a place to anchor yet another light.

This would have all cost me less than $15 and left me w/ an interior that lit up a dim blue which was not very visible from outside. In my area theres a ban on driving around with interior lights on, so I was going to tin my rear 3 windows and hope that I could avoid a ticket w/ this setup: hope this helps

Quite a few years back I installed stuff called "power neon cable". The company that made it was Varad, they sell LED and neon stuff. I think there are other companies that make it as well. It made a HUGE difference when I installed it, i'd highly recommend trying this stuff if you can find it.

You can find then on Amazon...I saw them about a month ago Vanad neon power rope in about 5 different colors......
