Default cockpit lighting

Anyone know the bulb type/wattage of the cockpit lights used near the floor by the bolster seats on the 2001 271? These are the ones behind the plastic lenses....probably used on many Formulas.

Thanks,
Jeff

Actually....that looks like it might be pretty cool.

Any recommendations on bulb types / colors that work well behind the stock Formula lenses? Maybe I'll get a few and experiment.

Thanks,
Jeff

As far as type, use the same type that was in there, I am sure they have it, you can call them too for help. Color wise, i like red or blue for the cockpit and I used cool white for the cuddy.

They were super-helpful to me, helped me figure out exactly what I wanted, and got them to me in 3 days. I went with white to brighten up the cockpit, and it made a huge difference. Pictures of the results are posted on Page 8, posts #222 and #223 of the "Project...382" thread here.

(Just remember - LED's are polarized, so if you plug them in and they don't work, just rotate them 180 degrees.)
