can anyone recommend me a interior dome light for a 1998 sentra? my interior lights looks awefully dark and dull at night. i'm also looking for a brighter light for the speedmeter and the hvac switch. looking for brighter lights w/o blowing the fuse of the car.
dome light, take out your cluster there are four bulbs you dont need them all, then put it in your dome it looks really good i found this out when i put indiglos in and had no need for the bulbs so i put them in the dome trunk and liscence, they emit a crystal blue color, or you can just go buy some new bulbs

I rigged up the dome light to fit an M6 bulb. It's an 18-watt bulb that has the same wiring as a 194, but it's bigger. It just took a little wire and some patience - it's now very, very bright.
a 10 dollar hybrid b1 hyper white dome light makes the inside of my car light up like its daytime inside. my friends complain that its too bright and hurts their eyes hahaha suckers

wait does it directly fit or what do u need to do??
It's not a direct fit at all, but it's easy to wire. I just cut some very short lenghts of wire and hooked the + and - of the bulb to the + and - wires inside the light, then wrapped the whole mess in electrical tape to make sure nothing shorted. I'm going to re-do it pretty soon with an acutal bulb harness and maybe do a step-by-step instruction thingie.

has anyone tried to hook up a capacitor in series with the dome light, so it would slowly fade out than just cut out??? sounds like a good idea though, just checking if anyone had done it......

Funny....as I was reading this thread I was thinking about doing the same thing. I may try it and see what happens.

That is so true. Even I complain sometimes. A really good bulb. I recommend you get them.
hmmm... how would that work.. the capaciter get charged, then as power fades the light fades... i guses that could work, i'd just want one good enough to stay on like 6 seconds or so..
not too long of a fade.
I think that this could become a huge thing on E-Gay.. "dome light fade kit" make it where you just plug in the bulb socket an actual bulb, that has like a capacater blocking it or something.. i am sure we can figure somethign out.. heheh
I may try it and see what happens.
