changing dash instrument lamp color? 700

posted by  someone claiming to be Crazy brick on  Sat Oct 4 18:49 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I have tried Blue and Red lights (194 type) sold by Victor. These two varieties have a very dark tint to them even when the dash illumination dial is set to max (ie hard to see the numbers if there is any ambient street lighting). I have found success in changing the bulbs to orange using the Sylvania 194NA. They are reasonably bright but they are not glaring light like the clear bulbs that came OEM in the dash.

Try these 194NA's if you like the orange look.
