Guage Bulbs - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #80 22 posts Started by JWalk1818
I want to change the needle color to red and if I change the bulbs behind the guages that should do it right. What bulbs and where to find them?

It will also change your odometer and trip stuff to Red. I don't know how to do just the Needle. I think they have indiglo Needles or something.

As for changing your Gauges to Red, The cheapest way to do it is...You will notice that your bulbs come equipt with green condoms around them. They sell those in Different Colors. Just get the Red one.

You could also buy red bulbs, but that really isn't worth it when you can just buy a million little condom things and change the color every day for the same price.

... just out of curiousity, where can you buy the cover thingies?
I got them during an Autometer Group buy from Groupbuycenter.com, so I know Autometer has them. I got them for 3 for a dollar.
BLUE = AUT.3207
YELLOW = AUT.3208
RED = AUT.3214
GREEN = AUT.3215

All you need are the last 4 number to find it.

Oh yeah...Also, 194 is also more commonly known as 168 wedge bulbs.
thnx bro, you are awesome biggrin.gif

edit: one more thing, how many condom things do I need to change the guage cluster as well as the climate controls etc ???
I don't really know how many... I know you need 3 for the gauge cluster... But I never went behind my A/C controls because I am sort of fond of Puke Green.
i couldnt find those condom things at that site...

Visit My Automotive & Tech Blog.
go to the search function and its under light bulbs or soemthing.....its like halfway down the page......I found them so I knwo their there!

i changed my bulds to red the other day. it looks great. i just went to the local auto parts store and bought red 194 bulds for like 3 dollars. if you put them in the 3 spots it will change the tach, speedo, feul/temp as well as the needles. its worth the 3 bucksit costs. it turned out better than i expected
yeah, just go to autozone or somethin to save the trouble of orderin it...i did mine, here's what it looks like...

don't bother with the AC controls, it is a gigantic pain in the ass, and the bulbs are not standard sizes...

I bought some blue ones and they still had an ugly green tint on them. The red ones I bought did not hardly show through at all.
