Hello I am trying to replace my cigarette lighter light that is burned out it is supposed to be green in color as it has a "green condom" on it. I would like to go blue in color so my question is
-This bulb is designed very odly it does not slide into the holder it is sodered to 2 metal posts that slide into the holder. So is there a replacement that is the same or should I buy a standard #74 bulb and glue it in and run the wires to hook it up? I think that would work correct??? -My other problem is that I don't know where I can buy a little blue condom for these #74 bulbs so they won't be green anymore? -Or do you guys just by little blue Leds without a condom? Thanks..... -Oh I'll be doing this on my ignition light and cigarette lighter...... |

You have four choices:
- spray some color at that bulb - use high illumination LED. There are two problems. First, you need to use resistor with LED, but there is no much place for this, second these LEDs are not "difusional", so it's difficult to do that... - use LED with build in resistor. These LEDs are not high illumination -> weak light - use another color of that "condom", but... Color with this rubber nonsences is horrible ("blue" is light-grey-blue and "red" rubber is more pink than red...) good luck with your choice 
-------------------- No more replicas... This is evolution... This is SS-four :)
