Anybody know a source for T1 1/4 wire base bulbs (NOT LEDs) with blue tint? Trying to replace the lights on the HVAC controls for a 2005 Caravan. Dealer claims they are unserviceable, and wants to sell me a whole new pod for hundreds of dollars. I have already replaced them with T1's (too small) after buying T1 3/4 that were too big (I feel like Goldilocks), but the T1s are too short, and the blue condoms make them too dim. I am aware of McMaster-Carr and Allied- that is where I wasted my money on the first two tries, for the condoms and bulbs respectively. Allied has clear bulbs in the right size (now that dummy me figured out what the size is), but not the tinted ones.
And yes, I already tried rec.autos.tech.
