I also made the light for the center console, its controlled by a remote to change the color. When you turn the lights on it retains the last settings
I just did the same on mine and the blues look really good, and just as Tim stated they are dimmable. Now Im just waiting impatiently for corvette central to ship my damn carpet and Ill post some pics

I agree with damoroso regarding the dimness of these lights. I have replaced every one of mine on my 81 and they are still dim. NO WAY these lights could be that dim originally. There has to be something that makes them that dim. I know my headlight switch is original and it works but I have thought before that's what could be the issue. I don't know of anything else that it would be.

Your headlight switch could be the issue, just because the it works for all the rest of its functions it is also what dims your dash lights. The dimmer part of the switch it likely the issue.
