If your talking about what I think your talking about. You should just spray them its pretty easy. A friend of mine did it and the lighting looks amazing.

i've decided to buy all-new bulbs and paint them #1628 thanks to someones FAQ post.

anyways does anyone have any links to other custom bulb clusters? thanks

well i did the cluster bulbs on my 94 eg hatch and they came out pretty decent. i went to local stores and picked up the best of what i could find. instead of the recommended competition orange #1628, i ended up with chevy orange #1620.
i picked up three packs (two bulbs each) of #24 bulbs and two packs of #74 bulbs from Sylvania. all this averaged just under $20.

i went down in my basement and gathered together my needed equipment:

blubs (green packs)
newspaper
spray paint (1620)
tape (to cover bulbs connectors)
and a empty coke 12pk cans box
with pierced cuts to stand the bulbs.



in the mean time the bulbs dried i stripped my dash components: cluster, cd player, climate control, and a couple panels.


after stripping my dash and waiting three hours for the bulbs to dry well i gathered the cluster and climate control in my room and started switching the bulbs, the cluster is easy but the climate control is a bitch.


after installing the bulbs i spent an hour or more putting everything back into my dash. and the outcome? RED... i should of known the paint wouldn't be perfect but at the time i convinced myself.



in the pictures they might look a little amberish but their flat red in person, but they still look good and many people thought the same.
