Hey Leroy!! Thanks! That's very sweet of you.....or you were just really bored....whatever! Ok, but I just thought of something. Infini...have you ever heard of that colored saran wrap? I wonder what it would look like if you wrapped that around the bulb since you are having trouble finding the right size cover thingy (Has anyone found the right size???) So, I don't know if you want to try that out just to see, but it's worth a shot, right? And if you want some red bulbs, I'll order them for you, so you can still pay me cash? You want red ones right?

How do the blue LEDs compare to the dark blue color available on the iPod headunit?
I was originally going to go to white, but after seeing the dark blue and amber from the HU I'm thinking of continuing that. I think a blue HVAC, blue/amber HU, amber clock, and maybe a bbist gauge face would be pretty sweet.

Haha! I'll get em for you!! We'll make a meet of our own! I can't really make it to any of the meets anymore because of work. It sucks. I am depressed because of it.

I'll get them for you as soon as possible.

Well I was just going to do a quick search and ended up finding a forum and read and read and read. You know, kinda like here. You just look for one thing, but keep seeing other stuff to read.


The bulb covers are for a 194/168 bulb. I haven't seen any small enough to fit like the stock cover. The 194/168 covers just drop in the hole and do not actually slide over the bulb.

Ok, so nevermind. My boyfriend came home early from class and helped me out! Yay! So I put them on, and they look great (as far as I know.....it's still pretty bright outside!)

I will try to post pics....even though they are all the same old same old.

WOOOOOOT!!!!!!!

Check it! And it is with the red covers, not the LED

Took me like 3 min total to install once I got it form the store

Check the link! and it's an even color not faded at parts. very cool.

Pep boys and Auto Zone I think have them. There in a clear covered package with yellow back. they look a bit too big but they will fit almost 100% inside the wholes where the LED's go into.

SO basically you take out the LED's and take off the yellow rubber covers. Then before you put the LED's back you take a small stick or thin phillips head screwdriver to help push the Red covers into the hole all the way. Once they are snug just put the LED's back in place and replace the panel making sure all the plugs are attached again and walla.

Okay, I got the caps, but I can't take the yellow caps off the bulbs to save my life. Any tips?

I pulled mine off by kinda using a pinching action at the tip of the bulb on the cap.
