Saw an add for dick smith (stock to arrive late March) which they had a standard 40mm long globe with 4 blue leds installed inside. This could be used for the interior light.

Jaycar also had lengths of blue leds mounted on a flexible circuit board that are suitable for 12vdc. thought these could be good foot lights.

I had blue LED's in my interior and they were not bright enough.

They work fine for the rear side lights and footwell lights. What I did is get a blue globe sleve from an auto store and put it over the standard globe and it looked great and was bright enough to be usefull.

If you want LED's get them from eBay as they are heaps cheaper than retail.

I got one of those blue LED festoons from Autobarn. Not very bright, but bright enough (just) to get in and out at night. Need any more light I turn the map lights on. Looks cool.

Can you get blue LED versions for the rear side lights? I havent been able to find any,had to settle for the blue sleeves which arent as "blue"...

After reading this about a week ago, I decided to do the same.

As you did mook05, got a Blue LED (3A Racing) and slipped the blue covers over the rear lights. the guy at autobahn tried one of the smaller lights in blue LED for the rears and it blew a fuse. so decided against it and I've slipped a 2nd blue cover over the top of the 1st after colouring it in with a blue texta and it has a nicer blue glow.

Yeah I had a look on ebay and cant find anything for those side lights. Come to think of it I remember someone saying they used blue glass paint - I might try that, to get a richer blue from the bulbs.

I also used to have blue led wedge globes in the footwell lights, but they hardly lit anything up, not bright enough. I just bought on ebay, wedge led globes, and they have 9 led's in each globe! I think they will be bright.

I also picked up another blue led festoon. The one I have now has 3 or 4 leds in it. This one also has 9 leds in it - should be a tad brighter.
