Re: covers for gauge lights
You can get them from Jegs or Summit.
Or you can buy a guage from the local autoparts store, pick out the cover and return the guage, No I'm kidding dont do that. Here is a link to Jegs. They are pretty much autometer specific. http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...47578_-1_10333

Re: covers for gauge lights
Are you looking for the little round plastic cover that fits over the round cardboard piece for the low and high beam. If so give me your address and I will give you one, hows that sound.

Re: covers for gauge lights
Rather than buy bulb covers, why not install red LED's?

Re: covers for gauge lights
with you being in charlotte, i cant place where the closet truck stop is that carries those red rubber covers. but the pilot truck stop at the statesville ave exit should have those bulbs already painted red.they may even have them in led

Re: covers for gauge lights
I know for a fact that the auto meter bulb covers will fit over stock bulbs when i had red covers on mine i put a cover on the bulb in my heater controls too. I ditched the covers after a while though so i could see the guages better at night

Re: covers for gauge lights
one more question about the gauges...well not really
my gauge cluster came from covans classic and it does not have any holes for the turn signal indicators or high beam indicator. could you just get 3 led lights and drill holes in the panel and hook the turn signal indicators into the switch or are there not there for a reason? |
