won't the paint melt and run? i've seen pics of clusters with paint all over the place from doing this. seems it'd be easier just to buy new bulbs.

Why paint them and take the chance of the paint melting and runnning, when you can go to Autozone and pick of 2 packs ( 2 bulbs per pack) of R194 red bulbs for $3 a pack?

Using banner red spraypaint from Krylon owns all. Its thin enough to shine through, yet thick enough to have an EVEN glow..not blotchy.

why did you paint 6 of them?

I'm sure the paint itself is more expensive that the red bulbs, plus you have to wait for it to dry and worry about it running

If you didn't use a resistor in line with those LEDs, chances are they will overheat eventually and burn out, unless they are 12V LEDs.

Check out superbrightleds.com, they have replacment bulbs for just about every automotive application.
