no, if you take the cruise control, sunroof, and dimmer switch out of the dash you'll find that they are lit up by these little lights (very expensive) and they have condoms on them (for lack of a better term although fitting). i'm looking for that. they are made out of some sort of rubber or plastic.

You can just paint your light bulbs with candy blue transparent paint. I'm using red on mine and it looks pretty good.

those little "condoms" come with autometer lights also so you can change the color i think red and green so you could check with autometer on where to get different colors

yeah i thought about that but those are 168/194 sized. the ones i am talking about are really really small. take apart that cluster and you'll see what i am talking about.

i have one lying around from my 3rd gen lude...

dont know where you could get them though

cheapest thing to do would be to go to a scrapyard. how are they going to notice you took something so small?

btw to those who dont know what he's talking about, they really are like little condoms.
