Green gauge lights

I just put in my issopro gauges, and now I'm wanting to make the lights match the green on the dash lights. What's the best way to do this?

Re:Green gauge lights

Dude, You should have bought AUTOMETER ultra-lite gages, they come with green and red lamp covers, plus they are better!

Re:Green gauge lights

I've heard some bad things about the autometer fuel pressure gauges. Autometer is saying to not use them in diesel applications now. Heard lots of good things about Issopro, so I went with them.

BigBlue-
where would a person get bulb condoms?? I don't think my local auto parts store has them.

Also, I thought about painting them with a green permanent marker. Anybody done this??

Re:Green gauge lights

Your local auto parts store should have colored gauge bulbs.
It's all the rage with the rice burners to change ther gauges and dash light colors. Or find a performance shop that installs lots of Autometer guages they probably have boxes of bulb covers.

I'll check the part store tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure they don't. The ricer craze hasn't caught on here yet, thank God.

If you want to spend a little more for a good product, try www.ledtronics.com - I have a set of taillight bulbs and they are the stuff! They have quality LEDs for every application. Jim ;D

Re:Green gauge lights

I got my covers from Isspro. Then I got some from another shop. Used two of those to get the right contrast. Something you'll have to play with to get just how you like it.

There used to be a orange eclipse with a big wing and about a 5 inch exhaust tip, but it's not around anymore. The city cops are pretty bored here and spend most their time harassing kids and loud little cars, so I guess whoever had it left.

Katoom-thanks for the tip, I forgot about seeing if isspro had some. They do for anyone interested www.issproinc.com You just have to know which lights are in the gauges. Apparently there are 3 different kinds. I'll have to do some research on that.

Re:Green gauge lights

Ive heard a green sharpie works wonders . Havent tried it myself... that dad burned pod is too much trouble to get off >.

BTW: your local Wally World should have bulb covers. They come in a package of 6 or 8 for about 3 bucks. You can also find these covers at most "quality" truck stops.
