map lights - modified!
 
check it out! i wanted to show what red map lights look like. i think they add a cool atmosphere at night, adds sort of a klingon warship feel to the car. (pictures taken durring the day)

Is that just red bulbs or did you do something to the cover... looks pretty sharp!! :cool:

njaremka Aug 16, 2002 09:06 AM

red bulbs. i wanted it to look stock untill you hit the button. i get lots of complements on it, and it only cost me $1.50 LOL!:p

What size bulbs go into the map light. I want to order bulbs before I pull it apart.

njaremka Aug 16, 2002 10:06 AM

194 / 168

you can get them from wally-world, autozone, pep boys, napa, etc. if you order them, you will spend more on shipping than the bulbs are worth.

Was it trivial to get the covers off?? I'd imagine they just pop off eh?

njaremka Aug 16, 2002 11:57 AM

mine just popped right off.

Nice! A mod I actually like! Hmm... might have to give that one a try as the red light would be better on the eyes at night also!

thanks for the idea!

well, becasue the red glass of the bulbs reduces some of the light output, it is a little harder to read maps and such, but the effect is cool. :cool:

Nice, I like the mod...it's the subtle things that count. How close do those light match the amber of the interior lights?

Sweedenhouse Aug 16, 2002 02:04 PM

That's fresh. Are there any other colors avaiable where you got thsoe red ones?

BL_Protege Aug 16, 2002 02:31 PM

they have blacklight bulbs that would fit there right?? that'd b really kool:D

nramsey Aug 16, 2002 05:18 PM

Humm, I never have those lights on though. What would be even cooler would be to put a red bulb in the main overhead light housing...the one that comes on when you unlock the car, turn the key off, or open the door. You'd see that every day :)

BL_Protege Aug 18, 2002 09:01 AM

has anyone seen blacklights bulbs for this ??

vip3321685 Aug 21, 2002 01:53 PM

is the lightbulb the same size for the non-moonroof P5? My dome and map lights are an all in one combo type thing. and do they make blacklights that small?
