Paint to use: RED : Same paint for redding your tails Candy apple red BLUE: Candy blue Spray 2 coats ... let it dry and put it back together your done Enjoy ............. No more soldering !

They are LEDs, you cant just replace them like other bulbs, they are soldered in. So it was difficult to get into there and start to solder.
I think this is a much easier way. I'm curious too, where did you find that red color? -------------------- |

looks good. so the bulbs have green condoms on them? is there any way we can source these condoms, I know autometer used to produce a couple of different sizes. I'm just worried that spraying the inside of the control box could result in uneven distribution of paint thereby making it look crappy. |

Yeah buying different covers would be nice.
I'm assuming you can do colors besides red and blue? Anyone think of white? -------------------- Sometimes we live to beat the odds.
