They won't work as well as LED's.

Fargo looked into the coloured filiment lamps when he was doin his conversion and he didn't recommend them.

Thats why i changed mine. Whoever had it before me changed the dash bulbs for LEDs and i couldn't see half the clocks. Swapped them all for clear bulbs...absolutely beeming.

You have to replace the dash bulbs with wide angle LED's or you come up with the problem you had.

I've replced my bulbs with LED's and if you look in my registry (Click the Sig) you'll see you can see them all perfectly.

However it was found that esp for the A/C lights (that normally use a fibre optic type system to spread the light) that the blue coloured bulds don't spread the light well.
