Bulb covers or colored bulbs?

Just wondering a couple things. First, for those who have used both, which would you reccomend, and which gives better color? Secondm where I could go online to get either. I'm thinkin of replacing my cluster lights with the bright clear xenon lights, but specificly I want nice blue lights in place of the green turn signal arrows. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
--Richie

The part that makes your turn signals green in your dask is actually just a simple piece of green transparent plastic,, the buld is clear glass behind it. Autometer makes the bulb 'condoms' in orange & blue green colors.

yeah, i know about the green plastic, I was gonna take out the plastic and replace with blue bulbs or condoms one of the two. I tried to use the blue plastic out of the high beam indicator, but there's not enough to make a round piece that big.

I believe mcewen has the colored bulbs. that's what i would go with. i changed mine to red, but was able to buy the bulbs locally for a bit less. i think autozone might have them, too.
