Just to let you guys and gals know ...

I found a special paint in my local tuning shop which is used to paint bulbs.
Various colors available.

I removed the bulbs, removed the green caps and then painted the bulb.
In some cases I could not remove the bulb (cigarette lighter, ash tray, ...) from its housing so I painted it directly.

As for results, I can't say for the moment, everything is still dismantled.

I tried painting them but ill tell u what i did that works great, just get some of those regular 94 sizes LED bulbs. You can hook them straight up to the wires and it is wild looking. MY cigarette lighter, gauges, and even that little ignition ring look incredible...

Hi smile.gif

When you post pics from ImageStation, you need to remove .orig.jpg from the end of the pics address, so that it only ends in .jpg

Yes, it's annoying smile.gif but I guess there aren't many other alternatives. I use www.villagephotos.com sometimes, but they only allow 5MB of bandwidth (viewing) per day.

What do the 94s come in a differant collor? I've looked around, and I just can't find any differant collors or sizes. Sure I can get the regular clear lense but not in multiple collors. Is there anywhere i can get them online or something?
