gauge bulbs

okay here is my idea. i love glow gauges and stuff like that but they don't make them for my car. so i was thinking of just making the numbers on the gauges blue by buying blue bulbs. my only ? is, is there orange film that makes the light orange or are they orange bulbs. has anyone tried this. because i hate orange!!!

Actually there are little 'condoms' on the lights that make it all a nasty orange color except the HVAC controls, orange is painted on the backside of the face to make it that color.

I changed mine to blue a couple months back.. vast improvement (IMO).

Buy colored glass glass bulbs as well instead of the crappy painted ones, it'll save you in the long run.

Wow.. I have always found the orange to be quite cool. I hated
my green ones in my Monte SS... very boring.
