Anybody know a source for T1 1/4 wire base bulbs (NOT LEDs) with blue
tint? Trying to replace the lights on the HVAC controls for a 2005
Caravan. Dealer claims they are unserviceable, and wants to sell me a
whole new pod for hundreds of dollars. I have already replaced them with
T1's (too small) after buying T1 3/4 that were too big (I feel like
Goldilocks), but the T1s are too short, and the blue condoms make them
too dim. I am aware of McMaster-Carr and Allied- that is where I wasted
my money on the first two tries, for the condoms and bulbs respectively.
Allied has clear bulbs in the right size (now that dummy me figured out
what the size is), but not the tinted ones.
And yes, I already tried rec.autos.tech.
Can't you apply an acrylic blue tint to the bulbs. Or just suffer with a
white light?
I'm no artist or painter- where would I get that in small quantity at a
decent price? I was just thinking blue nail polish or model paint of the
'candy' variety.
Colored nail paint.
