dash bulb for caldina

Postby cynakyl » Mon Apr 24, 2006 7:29 pm

anyone happen to know what type of bulb the dash lights in a caldina gtt take? i know its a t10 wedge type but apparently there a few different types ie 161,168,193,194. I got my boost gauge which is a cool blue colour and my dash looks poos now so i thinking of getting some autometer blue led bulbs so it's the same blue.

and if ur bulb is too bright and hot, the sleeve willl turn green after a while... had those on my ae111's park light and they turned from blue to bluey green which is a rather ugly colour i must say...

my advice would be get some LEDs, but that'll also depend on your budget. mine costed around $50 to replace park light / reverse light / stop light / all dash light so that's a rough price for ya...
