I actually just painted my bulbs with blue model paint. The first ones I did I painted all blue, and it was TOO MUCH. You couldn't read the gauges. So I repainted some new ones half blue, and it gave the desired effect.

I got the ones for my car at an import car shop. They were like $1.99 a piece. I have them in my dash and they let light through, just not as much, but they work well. Just my .02
