Can't find 123 blue light thread
 
Just about everyone with a 123 incluging me has been plagued with dim dash lights. A couple of months ago someone replaced his dash lights with some neat bluish lights that were much brighter and even included a picture of his dash that was taken at night. I was very impressed and wanted to learn what he did, but I lost the thread. I have done a search using words like 123 dash lights, LED. halogen, etc, but my efforts have been fruitless. Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Peter

I remember the thread, too, and the pics.

I tried to search for you, but couldn't find it.

I'm sure, though, that it was Peyton300td.

I think this is the web site- [URL=www.autolumination.com].

Blue Bulbs
 
hello

i think what you're looking for is a # 195 bayonette type. that's generally the dash lites. look for XENON. they produce a much whiter light. put them in my dome lite and it was like day and nite (no pun intended) also i'll use them for my daytime lites.

i know autozone has them and i've seen them on ebay.

good luck

Peyton300td didn't use xenon bulbs, though.

They were blue LED lights.

I do recall that he bought them at autolumination.com

Here it is...

Blue Light Thread

bjcsc,
thanks for the input, but that is not the thread. The thread in question distintly shows a 123 dash. I do appreciate your effort though. Thanks again.

Paul,
You may be right about peyton300td. I'll email him privately.

Thanks for your effort,
Peter

OK, try this one. It shows a 123 dash...

Correct Blue Light Thread?

bjcsc,

You get the cigar. That is the one. Eric also emailed me privately. I think it looks good. What do you think? All we have to do now is pressure Eric and Russ to go into more detail.

Thanks again,
Peter

Personally, I don't really like it; It's a little too fast and furious for a 123 (for my tastes anyway). However, it may look good with white LED's. For some reason, my lights are pretty bright, and I do dim them at night. It looks like the blue is darker than stock. I'm a big "keep it original" kind of guy, though; I pretty much don't like any mods so I am probably the worst person to ask. Ask DR. ///AMG what he thinks about it. He seems to like that kind of stuff and can probably give you a more valuable opinion from the "inside"...thanks for asking though...

bjcsc,

I'm with you on keeping things stock especially the wheels. I wouldn't even be doing anything to my instrument cluster if I could see it. Count yourself in a very very small group of 123 owners that avtually dims the dash lights.

Peter
