dont know what size they are, but I bought red bulbs for the lights on my door panel at Kragen. They also sell little rubber covers to go over the bulb. Not sure if the bulb behind the dash is green or if the actual lense in the instrument cluster is green. I think it may be the cluster.

You can find red and blue at AutoZone. I bought Blue for the overhead light. Didn't seem to make much difference.........Needs to be "bluer" to make a real difference.

Are you tlaking the dome light or the overhead map lights. I have the map lights but couldn't find the right size bulb for the dome. It's not a 211, although with a little tweaking it might fit.

To make mine show more blue, I lined the plastic lens's with a blue sheet of plastic, big difference. Just went to Wal-mart bought a blue plastic folder, traced shape and cut it out, then used double sided clear tape (industrail strength).

I forget the number, but it's the bullet-shaped light for the dome. I'm also going to go with colored mylar sheets. A colored bulb just isn't cutting it.
