Instead of buying new bulbs for your car all you have to do is paint each bulb with glass paint. I used "PermEnamel - Red Red" and "PermEnamel - Clear Gloss Glaze". Use three drops of the clear gloss glaze mized with one drop of the Red. Apply one coat and let it dry then apply a second coat. You'll get the exact same color as if you were to use colored bulbs.

*NOTE* you have to take the blue gel covers off each bulb before you paint them. Also the paint won't stick to the bulbs at first so after you remove the blue covers, use a little soap and water and wipe the bulb surfaces. Make sure it is dry before you paint them. if you need clearer instructions, PM me and i'll post em up.

 

seems a lot easier to buy $6 bulbs

 

yep...i perfer to dish out the 6 bucks...then sit there and paint little bulbs. but for those of you's that dont........^^^there ya go.

 

Nice read, but that is only for the DIY people

 

seems more time consuming than just buying bulbs

 

yeh it does changing the bulbs takes a few minutes

 

i bought soem blue bulbs...and some of them are like 'white' again...they were a nice blue but now they are white like 4 months later....so....i dunno lol

 

EDIT* i was looking at the difference between the red lightbulbs that i have in my climate controls vs. the painted ones in my radio and the color on the painted bulbs are a lot brighter.

 

Also instead of buying LEDs for your gauges which have the worst light distribution, you can use the same paint and paint them. No need to spend $1.79?? each bulb. PLUS you can also change the odometer light with this painting method also
