dash lights

[Narfy]

i replaced the dash lights on my corolla GTS for the 3rd time today... at first, i picked up some APC "ultimate lighting technology" blue bulbs... and they weren't anywhere near bright enough... very very dim... but they were blue and they looked nice... unsatisfied with them, i picked up a set of "xenon" lights and they were too white and too bright... so removed them from my dash and put them in my front markers... the third set of lights i picked up were B1 hybrid blue lights... i put those in tonight and they looked really really nice!! i like them!! so if anybody's replacing dash lights, i highly recommend the B1 hybrid lights if you want any colour other than factory...

Damn that was long winded!!

okay I will bite...Where did you buy the lights and how much did they cost?

[Narfy]

apc lights - mopac... don't buy apc products.. they suck...
b1 hybrids - cartronix in parker place, richmond... <--honger store... beware... i can prolly get you guys a better price than you would if u walked in...

Can you set up BCMR2 discounts at this store? Put your money where your mouth is Narfy....make us all proud.

[Narfy]

i asked about a group discount... he said he'd think about it... he's not really into that type of thing, though he cut me a good deal... but from what the store looks like, there's not much you guys would want to put in ur car other than shift knobs and light bulbs...

What brands does he carry? Momo, etc?

[Narfy]

he carries a lot of "honger" accessories... wide mirrors, etc... then there's the rack of momo shift knobs... and a couple other items... some stickers, air fresheners... etc...

I asked for brand names.....not honger accessories...

If he carries MOMO....will he give us a discount? If not...I doubt we will use them as we have other sponsors that will.

what color does the B1 hybrid blue lights show?

blue or just really a bright light?

I think it is just really bright...too bright for the dash IMO. (regarding APC lights)

Sorry Narf...I did liek your lights...not too bright at all. They look quite slick. My post above referred to the APC lights. My bad..not very clear; I have since updated my post.
