dude are you willing to help with this mod lol.. when i get my car back

[kelsodeez]

where can i find an amber condoms for my stock hvac bulbs? ive looked all over for them.

[billmus86]

they are out there - where i dont know
you can sharpie the bulb, but its not gonna work,.. soooo
sharpie the back of the buttons instead and itll work best, try with the stock rubbers on, and check the color-- then try and pull one off and compare,
its prolly easier [& cheaper] to just go led

[kelsodeez]

well, i used some orange stain glass spray for the bulbs. i havent plugged them in yet so i have no idea how the color is going to be. looks like they are going to be yellow.

[billmus86]

prolly those little indicator lights are VERY yellow-- without the cok sok.
the blue gel makes it a more "white" light,
but still its not a good source to start from when trying to make a certain output..
(did that make ANY sense? lol )

maybe a few coats of the stain, but i dont think 1 will do.

(go led-- you KNOW you want to )

dude sure...
ill add you to the list, lol

another notch in the bedpost

im all over these tri-states here so ill be around

[billmus86]

another bit of info...
if you wanted to know the leds from superbrights, on the wires have the resistor inline already, you dont need to add anything.
and yes, they are polarized, meaning they only work one way ...

[billmus86]

nother bump with notes:

when you do the buttons--
* use sharpies and color the whole inside of the cap-
*leave the bulbs alone - if you remove the condom the light will be too orange and mess your colors up, (unless you want orange , take them off)

I'm digging the Blue LEDs if they match the instrument panel, etc.
My XM will glow that same blue as well...
hmm...something to kill some time with! lol

My dad has what i think is the sleeves you mention.

He got them to change the color of xmas lights. they slip over the bulb of the smaller "twinkle-style" lights.

I think he said he got them somewhere online..
I can check if anyone is interested.
