Blue shifter lenses

[monroegtx]

Hi all. Does anyone know where I can get the blue bubble lense that goes in the auto console under the shifter?

Yea I did see those on ebay, but wan't sure if they were the same fit for the console. I might send him an email and ask if they're the same or not. You wouldn't think that mopar would make a special size just for one tiny lense. Thanks for the help guys.

I know. The mind boggles doesn't it. I dread to see the international charge. :confused3:

See if there are any 5th Avenues, Diplomats, Gran Fury's or even "K" based cars at your local u-pull.

Lots of those lenses were the same all the way though the 80's and into the 90's.

Unfortunately not too many American wrecks here in Oz, but thanks for the tip. :VB toast:

If you are talking about instrument panel lighting, you don't need the blue domes if you use blue LED bulbs. That's what I did.



For your application check http://www.superbrightleds.com/ then see if you can buy them locally.

That looks super cool.

Can a guy just replace the bulbs or are there other parts needed to do the switch?

You should probably remove the blue plastic domes if you want to use LEDs. They fit the bulb sockets. However, I found out if one doesn't light when you plug it in just pull it out, turn it 180 degrees and plug it back in and it should work,

Another consideration is some LEDs are forward facing only which are good for turn signals and warning lights. But for the dash lights that light the gauges you should use LEDs that are omnidirectional. Look at Superbrightleds site and you will see the bulbs I am referring to.
