Wink How To Change Bulb Colors

PeP Boys I purchased Sylvana 2.5w Bulbs 186 - standard is 5w 196

Pictured: Gel Cap Bulb Covers - they come in all kinds of Colors

Remove outer faring

See pictures the Bulbs are easy to get to

The Red Gel Cap is real Close to the Radio ,my camera sucks

I like the 2.5w - less glare at night

I wish I knew how to change out the Speed - O and Tach

I will tell you what I did tonight on my guage lights and I think others should know. I dont have a pep boys in my area and couldnt find any gel caps anywhere else so what I did and it worked great! was I bought 4 clear 168s and used sharpies [permenant markers] to decide what color I wanted Red, Green, Blue. I chose the red and the marker was the perfect color and brightness for me. you can clean the ink off with brake clean. the color should stay on as the heat of the bulb bakes it on. as for the tach and speedo, dont see how My Ride7 gets them apart but i am working on that.
