Question

Just fitted my three autometer gauge a-pillar pod (boost, oil temp and afr) only to find that the boost and oil light up red (unfortunately not that nice green of the oem dials) Please, please, please tell me you can get green bulbs or something for them and where to get them. You really will make my day if you can

My autometer boost came with two minature "jonny" type things which slip over the bulb. One red and one green.

Do a search for Boxer flat4 or Gecko motorsport as he has some green led's that can be used in some guages.

As said above.... you get a red and a green bulb 'cover'. Just change it over. No need to change the bulb for LEDS .

Why would painting them make them dull????? I didn't mean paint them with green emulsion . You can get paint specifically for this purpose.
