Exclamation ugly toyota green

Dont you hate that ugly green around your key,lighter,ashtray,glove compartment,and you a/c face???? well a friend sent me to this site:
http://www.mcmaster.com/ you go to search for bulb covers and you go to the next page (623). go all the way down to you see the bulb covers and you have a choice of amber,green,yellow, and blue. cheap for a 10pack! i recently bought the blue 10pack today and it should arrive around tuesday. as soon as i get them i'll take pictures of my mod and i'll keep yall posted on the looks. even though my friend told me the blue shines off white with a touch of blue.
till then....ta ta

Thats actually a good idea to change the green lights. But I dont understand the whole cover thing, I'll just replace the whole bulb. Anyone have a link to these bulbs, and maybe some pics?

Yea, seems a better choice to replace the whole bulb...I would actually like to do this. I'm sure many here have taken the appropriate parts off to get access. Tough job? I've taken out enough to put a new stereo in a few times. But never the dash in front of the the driver's seat. Anyone have a write up for this?

Oh wait, I'll do a search...

Well check out the price??? first i'll try out the covers, hey if it looks good i'll stick with the covers if it looks bad then i'll go with the leds.

big difference when you need about 5 to 6 of these leds plus shipping!!!!

Thanks Sludge...

I'm having trouble sourcing the Indiglo kit for my 92. Where did you get yours?

BTW, the Runner looks great...!

I got my Indiglo kit from Ebay the price was in the $50 range and easy to install. The tech section here has a write up on how to do the install

Yea, I really like that look, Miles...

I've been reading over the tech write-ups on this and it looks involved! I hate dealing with electricity, but I want to somehow pull this mod off. Very nice job...




I've done a search on eBay and there isn't any indiglo stuff for Runners on...but I may have found a couple of places to find the stuff I want.
