How to make my MR gauges blue

I tried searching, but many of my keywords must have not been good enough for me to find my answer. Believe me, I'm a search **** as well..but I can't find an answer for what I've searched for.


My MR gauge cluster are the only non-indiglo blue gauges in my car. Are there bulbs or bulb condoms I can put in the gauges to make them blue instead of the yellow?

Thanks.

Do you have a pic of it lit up? I prefer the amber lighting myself, but am curious to see what you have done to your MR.

I don't have an MR, just the MR gauge cluster (boost/batt volts/engine temp)

I will have my whiteface gauge cluster put in before this weekend. I also have an FM modulator, my Greddy EBC, and my SAFC are are blue and I want to change the MR gauges to blue as well.

That won't be a problem. Once I get some help from somebody instead of getting smartass comments, I'll be able to complete the project.

All I need is the size/part number of the bulbs I need to get bulb condoms for and where I can get them from and I'll be set.

The MR gauge cluster comes with blue bulb condoms on the bulbs but doesnt look very blue when lit up. I would go to the local auto parts store and get blue led's. I saw some that came with three wired in a series that would work great. Toss the old bulbs, stick the leds in the factory bulb holes, wire and your done.
