Kinda OT. but have any of you guys managed to switch out the condoms and not rip any of them to peices?? I remember tearing 3 or 4 of mine to shreds trying to get them off of the bulbs.

The bulb condoms I used in the past were difficult to get off.

It was almost as if the condom slightly melted/glued itself to the bulb. Makes it pretty difficult.

the paint doesnt fade, the bulbs do. this is the same paint people do their DIY amber corners with. there are a few write ups on how to do this to your guage cluster and instrument panel and what not. do a search.

i've bought new gauge cluster bulbs and then painted them amber..then like 2 weeks later they faded bad and no one else has had this problem...

can i just get those condom covers for the ac thing and just put them on my #24 bulb? Is there a bigger bulb i can put in my gauge cluster besides #24 to make it brighter?

Yeah, it just takes patience. When I did mine, I was really careful not to rip them, start from the bottom, and push it off, don't pull from the top, take your time.

if you are looking for an amber bulb that replaces your corners on a 5th gen civic, it's 1157.
