red vs blue dash lights

Factory.

They work.

I can't see ship with those stupid fancy colored "cool dude" dash lights

Your mileage may vary...

 

A specific wavelength of blue light has been proven to reduce eye fatigue, but I doubt the cheap colored bulbs at truckstops are calibrated to this wavelength. I have always preferred the soft green or amber light, really like the amber color used in the International 9200 and 9400 series dashes.

 

I'm partial to the blue lights. They seem to cut the glare and don't make my eyes tired.

 

The blue lights on a cobra 29, well they dont do much for reducing eye fatigue. I think they increase it. At least on my cobra.


The blue headlights, thats another story. I dont mind them and they are bright.

 

I like as many different colors as possible, and a nightwatch CB. I feel like I'm in command of the space shuttle or something then.

 

Had a car with red backlighting on the gauges. Hated it. Looked tacky.

 

Just go purple and have some of each.

 

Red. It won't ruin your night vision.
