you have to replace them with new lights man,

if you have the white face overlays you will know what type of bulb you need...i still need to do this to my iroc...but its a pita to do...im also getting really lazy too

My Autometer guages came with the inserts for red or orange which slip over the blub itself.
I have the small ultralight vac and oil temp.

The type of bulbs used in them gives off a yellow hue.


You can try hyper-white bulbs, but they may be too bright.
