#28610, "Lightbulb condoms?"




          

Anyone know a store or somewhere online to buy light bulb condoms for the lights by the feet..also, are there any decent like rearview mirror lightbulbs that don't fade..cause I bought a set of blue lights from pepboys for like$3.99 and 2 of the light bulbs went in the rearview mirror and two on the floor..and it looked nice..but today my friend and i noticed that they started to fade to a greenish color instead of blue..anyone know where i can get good ones or condoms? Thanks in advance..later

My friend got a set of green ones for his corners on his z24, they actually worked very well, didn't fade or get glued onto it, He got them at Autozone... I went down lookin for covers for our side marker lights but they don't sell them.

How do they make the condoms for the dome lights? Cause the dome lights look like fuses..like a long tube with connectors at each end..not like a regular light bulb..but if you say so i'll go check it out emoji thanks!

I have blue LED lights for near the floor board and they look awesome, but my quest to find blue lights for the rear view mirror is going no where. All of the colored bulbs I have tried fade. SO I tried the "condoms", guess what, they faded too. I think we are just S O L (shit outta luck for all of you rednecks!).

The ones that you guys are useing that fade are the painted ones you should look on the internet for the bulds where the glass is actually stained or dyed thoes dont fade.

I tried the "color impregnated glass" lights too and they faded as well. I wish they made LED lights for the rear view mirror. I know I could probably rig something with LEDs but I'm too lazy emoji

So how did you make the lights by your feet colored? Because I bought light bulbs that fit into those sockets that were blue and they faded to green..did you wire something up with LEDs or something? How? Was it hard?

I called them up and asked them if they made blue condoms, and he said "how many gauges do you have?" I told him and he said he was going to send me some! I said well hell yeah! 4 days later I got em and 2 extras. I love Autometer! The blue looks really good on the gauges, but it doesn't allow alot of light. You can see them fine though. If you have indiglos and the HVAC & dash conversions you will have everything blue. I love that look.

I just put blue bulb condoms on my boost and EGT gauges. They look really good in blue, but now I can't see where the needle is. I really want to keep them blue, but I can't drive around at night without being able to read my gauges.

Does anyone know where I can buy a brighter bulb for the Autometer gauges? I figure if I put a brighter bulb in, it might make the blue light brighter.

If I can't find a higher wattage bulb, I'm gonna try putting a few holes in the bulb condom to let more light through, but I'm afraid that could cause spots that are white light instead of blue. Any other ideas??
