Question Gauge Lighting question...

Has anyone ever changed out the back lighting color of their gauges to a different color? If so, where do you get the tiny bulbs and also, what else is needed to do this mod? Thanks in advance for any replies...Happy Holidays...

BadBagger08 gave you an excellent link.

If you are the consummate do-it-yourselfer, here is a link spydyr posted a few years ago. I believe it addresses what you are wanting to accomplish. You can always PM him with specific questions you may have.

Good luck. Happy Holidays.

Thanks for the props, Bone Doc. It's so cool that my write-up is still going around 2 years later. Awesome... perfect example of why I love this forum so much!! I did my wife's Heritage a two-tone a year later.... she wanted pink numbers & a blue needle & odometer. Turned out pretty cool!

Any questions, just let me know. Happy to help!
