cluster in my EDM EK4
I have a problem with changing the bulbs to a orange color. The big one that is 5W is already in there and other smaller ones 3W are still white and it doesn't look good this way. I'm told by the local shops that i'll never find the bulbs in orange in my size. They say i should go with leds, but i'm afraid it will focus the light too much and won't look right.
So what bulbs did you use?
I don't want anything extra fancy, i'd just like it to be a bit more visible it's hard to see exactly at night.

Just buy a orange gloss paint and paint them to orange, don't worry the light will go through after you paint it gloss. I saw a DIY at yahoo before, so search for it.

I got the paint, but the bulbs are hard to find and the dealer wants $5 a piece. Any online shop that has them? Preferably in the UK or anywhere in Europe, since i hate my costums.

Because they don't sell #24 bulbs at autozone, last I checked. Buy them online, and they're $0.99 a piece in whatever color you want. It ends up being like $15 shipped to do the entire cluster and climate control in a 6th gen, and you don't have to wory about paint fade, hot spots, and blown bulbs.

Re: (JDM_EjONE)
I'm from europe so auto zone doesn't help me much. I'd even prefer european stores, but that would be too much to ask. I'm waiting for a shipping quote from the above mentioned store.
Thanks guys
Thanks guys

Re: (wicked2night)
Any other online store? I won't order from these guys since the bulbs are $5 and the shipping is $25 wich exceeds 20euro and i would need to pay costums. I hate my costums and aint paying them nothing.
