I got the oznium cold cathode tubes but they were a totally diff. blue then i have in my car. Im looking for something closer to the blue of the ____ty yet BLUE dealer light tubes. Anyone know where i can get some? Returning oznium product btw =/ looks like a good product just not as Blue as i had wanted/hoped.

LED's

brighter, more blue, not fragile as cold cathodes

^^ which is why the "sh!tty" dealer tubes are so nice and blue.... oh.. and you can kick them and they wont break either :)

The only thing bad about those tubes are the price. Other than that, leds shining into solid clear plastic is a much better idea than a breakable tube under the dash.

I personally favor the 15" cathodes (you could kick them all day and not break them), but LED strips are a good choice if you're trying to match other umm... LEDs.

dealer tubes! PSH!!!

I love my blue cathodes, but I love my led's too!

That's why I have both

Makes the install perfect on the passenger side without removing the black plastic piece. If you're not happy with that blue, there's not too many alternatives outside of aqua, which is getting back to cathode looks. It's a very deep blue. PM me for pictures of mine.

Yeah cathode colors do not equal LED colors, I'm waiting for some flexible LED stips to come in in the mail so I can swap out my cathodes, it bugged me that they were a different red than my air vent LEDs


...... any one wanna buy a set of red cathodes?

Yea cathodes are a completely different technology than LEDs, so the colors don't match.

Sorry about that.
