Blue bulbs for my '66s gauge cluster...how?

[TireSmoknWindsr]

Anyone saw any blue bulbs for the early model gauge cluster? I wanna have mine glow blue to go with the ext/int of the car. I cant find any though...I did it to my '77 1/2 ton but that uses 194 lights so it was easy...would even wrapping them in saran wrap work? Or would that just fall off after time or somethin?

NPD and Mustangs Unlimited sells blue bulb lenses which replace the ones that would be in your dash already. I don't know about your 66, but my 67's gauges glow blue.

A trick the mini truck guys used to do in the mid 80's was to use transparent model paint on the bulbs.

A hobby shop, or you can even go to a craft store and tell them you want transparent paint for glass

The transparent paint is kind of like your idea for the Saran Wrap but this is a more permanent and brighter effect, i say paint em blue.

Have fun explaining why you're running through the toy department looking for parts to your car
