turn signal arrow, different color

I want to change the turn signal arrow to a different color. For anyone who has taken there cluster apart knows those green circles that cover the turn signal lights. Can I buy a different color or has anyone made there own and if so what did you use?

I'm sure you can find a piece of plastic in the craft, or school supply isle to cut up. How about one of those cheap plastic see through school folders?

It needs to be slightly frosted.... I bought some strobe lights at Spencers for NYE and they came with a blue, red and green lens. Probably would work great due to size.

Re: turn signal arrow, different color

I was thinking of doing that when I put blue leds in for my white face gauges. My plan was to leave the discs out and just stick a led or two in place of the bulb.

Re: turn signal arrow, different color

Take the green discs out and just change the bulb color

I changed mine to amber/orange

Military flashlights have blue and red plastic inserts go to an army navy surplus store they might be able to get the inserts.

Re: turn signal arrow, different color

I'll be using bingo chips. I'll post a picture when they get to my house. If they work and anybody else wants red I'll send them to you if you pay for shipping. I'll have no use for the other 248 chips, but I might snag a spare pair while I have them just in case. If you want to get them new here's the link of the tub I bought: http://www.wholesalebingosupplies.co...ps-250-ct.html

I can honestly say I never thought I'd be buying car parts from a bingo wholesaler, but **** happens.

Re: turn signal arrow, different color

They wanted $10 for shipping so the plans have changed to this link. Free shipping was much more appealing. http://www.ebay.com/itm/100-RED-CLEAR-PLASTIC-BINGO-CHIPS-7-8-IN-DIAMETER-/161058499758?pt=Games_US&hash=item257fd5acae
Expect a picture of the red arrows by the weekend.
