Interior bulbs-xenon or blue/white effect.

[rickya]

I have the super bright JDM interior bulbs which is like turning on a dull tube light! I want to replace these with lower wattage ones.

 

1) what is the type of bulb I need to buy & what lower wattage rating?

2)Is there a xenon type or blue light bulb avaliable rather than the normal yellowy light? (new lexus has lovely blue very subtle interior lights & also Audi)

3)Where from?

 

Thanks,

Ricky.

and the DIY guide on how to change them

 

PS I have them, and despite the pics, they do make a nice blue light instead of yellow

Are they only available from the US site, or is there a UK supplier?

Where is the DIY guide?

Thanks Chris. Is it the same ones for the sun visor lights too ?

[JDM Performance]

Hmm, I've never checked - gimmi a couple of days and I'll check it on my Z and let you know.

[DJ Dunk]

Thanks, appreciate your advice. My owners manual is next to useless for bulb replacement !

Got mine form Chris, looks great completely changes the ambience of the interior (that word comes from watching too many home improvement tv programmes!!).

 

ps though with mine (not sure if same with others) the bulbs are bigger than original ones & blue glass section ends up going into metal clips on holder meaning the metal contacts on bulb do not touch metal contacts on holder. (on 1 side) This is as blue glass is fatter than the metal contacts at the ends. But a simple fix by wrapping a bit of wire around one end of the metal contacts at the end of the bulb.

 

Hope that confused all of you
