The 194 bulb condoms aren't the same size as the bulbs, but they'll do the job. The bulb condoms that'll fit correctly seem to be only available in Japan (Netz Toyota)...

Well, my experience is that these COVERS actually make the lights dimmer. If you use blue it will turn green, red shines pinkish. I personally have done this mod and found that the original light is much better even though it doesn't match. Personally, I really don't recommend it. But that's just my opinion. I'm picky when it comes to having the lights be bright enough in my car. As far as the true bulb covers go, I would imagine they're better, never tried them.

The red ones are fine, i used APC red ones (yeah, that's the only APC product you'll find on my car) from pep boys. They were like $2.50.

I used a red sharpie and works fine. Its red not pink. The lights don't get that hot so the ink won't burn off like the dome light did. I used a red condom from autozone, works great.

I agree with ScionXBNY in some level....

I also did this mod trying to get mine to match my Blue Cathode Lighting and like he said instead of being blue it looks green. As far as being not bright enough I think that is in one's taste..I like them just fine...even though they dont match the interior color...

Just my 2 cents! :D

I wounder is there enough room to put additional LEDs behind the panel? if you make the lights go that funky blue/green color and also add blue LEDs, i may work out
