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.

Can't you apply an acrylic blue tint to the bulbs. Or just suffer with a
white light?

I'm no artist or painter- where would I get that in small quantity at a
decent price? I was just thinking blue nail polish or model paint of the
'candy' variety.

A clear blue tinted nail polish might work if the lamp didn't get too
hot. I used to tint Grain of Wheat lamps all the time with nail polish.

You should be able to buy acrylic spray paint at almost any hardware store
or home improvement store. Walmart, Kmart, Target, etc. should have acrylic
spray paint in their crafts section as well as the paint section.
Acrylic spray paint isn't hard to find.

I suppose- I was thinking something that I could dab on, or just dip the
bulb in. I already have way too many spray cans sitting around going
flat, that I'll never finish.

No hurry at this point- the lights I put in are bright enough to at
lease SEE the damn controls. Maybe when it warms up again, I'll feel
more motivated.

When I got tired of burned out lamps in the CD/radio in my Chevy truck,
I replaced them with T1 white LEDs from DigiKey (and dropping
resistors). They worked perfectly, and even dim evenly with the normal
instrument dimmer control.

Yeah, I know, and that is what all the gearheads on the Dodge truck/van
forums said to do. But I am soldering-challenged, and haven't seen my
fine-point Weller in at least a decade. I'm sure it is SOMEPLACE here,
but....
The swap I did, and what I wanna do again with the correct parts, is
straight mechanical work, and totally reversible if I take the lazy way
out and find a real U-pick junkyard (none near here with anything newer
than 2000), and harvest some bulbs from shiny wrecks. I have no
convenient way to heat the board to tell which side of the hole in the
PC board is + and -, and no convenient way to solder to the trace and
get a good connection. These push-and-turn PC bases that the wire tails
wrap around are about 3 layers deep inside the mother. It took me about
3 tries to find a T9 torx bit to even open it up. In the Gen IV mopar
minis like mine, there are about 6 different variants of the HVAC
control pod. The documentation the parts guy had only applies to the
fancy version, with hard-mounted bulbs. 3 different dealers told me the
lights were not serviceable. I opened up the also-dark headlight switch
panel, and found holes for similar lights, but no lights and no feed
traces, and empty holes in the connector block. !#$%^& Chrysler had
'decontented' the vans by 05, to save a couple bucks here and there.

rant mode off

I know I have wasted way too much time and money on this already, but
'engineering' like this, done by bean counters, just pisses me off.

Making assumptions like that about some one you know absolutely
nothing about, isn't very good character on your part. It just goes to
show how much of an ignoramus one could be, you for example.

Now, I understand your dilemma. I am forced to communication with
people of your type, every day. That does not mean I have to like it
how ever, it's a requirement I must adhere to.

Could it be these so called "Trouble Makers" as you call them are just
making you feel like you have too much competition ? I am sorry that
"we Amateur Operators don't kneel down and kiss your feet".

It's not nice trying to make yourself look better by devaluing others.

Black and green on the locking tab side of plug is power on 20 pin ATX
style supply. You're saying this does not exist? The 300gl being quite
obsolete might be hard to find technical errata on the PSU if
proprietary.

It assumes Furby is a boy.

Sorry if that offends you.

Actually, my specialty is metrology. My last serious job, before moving
on to the electronic organ/keyboard business in the late 1980's, was as a
GS-11 Electronic Technician at the Charleston Naval Shipyard's Metrology
Laboratory.

Since 1964, when I joined the Navy to avoid being murdered for the
military contractors profits in Vietnam, I've been in military
electronics most of the time. In 1977-79, I spent 2.5 years building a
metrology laboratory at Iranian Air Force Headquarters, Tehran for a US
contractor. I've been back to the MidEast many times for our military
and others.

Think I can qualify as an electronics technician? I taught them at
Sumter Area Technical College, Sumter, SC, for 7 years from '71 to '78.
Great fun if you don't need money to live on.
