so i got a set of autometer gauges that im trying to change to blue. ive tried buying blue 194 bulbs and even using blue rubber overlays, but nothing ever looks right. the overlays are too dark and the bulbs fade quickly and change color. anyone have any luck with changing their gauges to blue?

I think I would try xenon 194's. I have no experience but have read lots of good things about them. I was going to change everything to red with xenon's but so far have kept the green. They are twice as expensive but the brighter bulbs SHOULD give you your desired look.
