hey bro... de bulbs all same size ah?? all 5w bulbs?? how many pcs??

i wanto change to blue bulbs lar.... need to knwo wat bulbs 1st

 

[simefly]

if you want red then you have to find that 'blue condom/sarung' and use a felt marker pen to paint it red. Can try in art shop supplies.

I believe its all the same size and wattage. I took out all mine to remove the blue thingy... but too bright so thinking of getting it back but can't find it anywhere.

Blue is abit difficult (if you mean something like the EL ones). Coz its usually the meter panels that reflect the colour not the bulbs

When we meet, i can share with you some of my experience in DIY EL meters.

the black is bigger than the blue one and all black & blue thingy are bulbs

i think you can get it from any spare part shop in kl,just tell them you want the bulbs that used in the meter panel or small light.

i saw others using difference colour of bulbs on their small light,so i think you can get it with the colour that you wan.paint i should be ok,but make sure your paint is transperent.

what paint should use, im not too sure about it,but what i saw at the shop,they selling red,blue and white.

price around RM0.50 - RM 1.00

those whole bulb tinted wan is de glass material itself already de color.... so it wun fade...

i think u can get them from pasar road.... rm8 a pair wan... i onli saw blue lar... its white light wan...
