blue dash lights

I just replaced my dash bulbs with blue APC(didn't have PIAA's) bulbs.
They aren't bright enough.

Has anyone done this, if so, what kind of bulbs did you use.
Even the PIAA blues still look white, so I need suggestions.

Re: blue dash lights (exzeltus)

Are you talking about the bulbs that light up the guage cluster? Or the ones for the a/c controls?

Re: blue dash lights

I used red lights in my gsr and blue in my sister's amigo, and they look great. I went red in mine, because blue isn't good for night vision. IMO, the reds look a lot better, and have a crisper color. HTH

edit: 194 bulbs

Re: blue dash lights

I use 194 Red from Advanced Auto Parts. They were only $1.99 for two. I have a 97 GSR so it takes three bulbs for the gauge cluster. Red in my opinion looks really good at night. Do any of you guys know what kind of bulbs are needed for the A/C controls? I"m trying to replace them with red bulbs, too.

Re: blue dash lights (pineapple)

hehe...red looks decent but amber looks better i think
It does look pink a bit but could be just the camera.

Re: blue dash lights (VTEC CX)

Mine shows up red. I had blue in there before but it was not as bright. I also had those hyperwhite blubs made by polarg or some other brand (I forgot). Those were very bright and looked white. I still like red the best.
