Where can I buy red bulb gel cover?
I've tried all the local auto parts stores, and all they have are the big ones.
I need gel covers for the tiny bulbs in the guage cluster/cig lighter/climate control.
Anyone know?

I just Pm'd you
I pm'd you but those covers were for the radio unit bulbs and the small bulbs for the switches on the left side of the steering wheel. The climate control bulbs, cig lighter, ignition circle and ash tray you can buy # 74 bulbs from http://autolumination.com/194_marker.html I've bought from them on two occasions and have had good experiences. Again if you have any questions feel free to message me.

Red vs. Amber
I've only used the red personally, so I couldn't compare them, but I will take a pic tonight and post it to show you what it looks like. I think the match with red #74 bulbs and the red gel caps are almost perfect with the instrument cluster. Stay tuned for a pic....

Pics are added, sorry the quality isn't the greatest, but should give you somewhat of an idea of the color match.

here's a link that was posted by jong. It covers most everything else. You can search under "interior lights" and find most of the info you need. I just basically did that and after tearing things apart found what i needed to change it. Also, I used wide tip LCDs for the gauge lights, and they have a more red tint than stock, but less bright. It still looks better in my opinion, but be prepared for it being less bright. I tried to use replacement bulbs where I could, had a nicer look, but the radio lights and the switched for the headlight adj, fog lights, and dimmer switch are so small i couldn't find replacement and used the gels. The Lcds for the gauge cluster are t1.5 with a screw in base, and I couldn't find incadescent bulbs to replace those, but I think those would work better because they would be brighter. Anyhow, anything else I can help with let me know.

well in my how to I used the bulb covers that fit a 194 bulb. I ended up tapig them tight because they would fall off under hard acceleration. But if the little guys on the site can fit like the stock blue guys.. then ha! gravy!
