Well, don't quote me on this but I haven't tried it. A buddy of mine has done this to lightbulbs. He takes the engine enamel paint, and just light goes over the bulb. Not covered, just so that it makes a colored tint when the light is on. Plus the engine enamel is high-heat so the heat from the light won't effect it. Let me know what you come up with-

just find some of that liquid rubber shit, that when you dip things into it, it coats whatever you dipped, and then it dries.. that might work.

You can get any color led from radio shack. The colors they dont have you can special order (such as the neon blue).

i tried all of that.

Heres what worked. Go to a local crafts store, and buy blue colored cellophane. i.e. blue and amber will make green.

Put the cellophane between the gauge faces, and the plastic support pods that house the gauge.

if you need some, paypal me $7.00 for shipping. paypal addy is

painted light bulbs

don't laugh but nail polish works great, it is heat resistant, and comes in all colors, i did it to a volks and it works great.
