There are 4 large globes in the instrument cluster which illuminate the fuel/temp/tacho/speed gauges.

The centre console has 4 small globes - two behind the aircon/fan control and one near the cigarette lighter and one inthe ashtray.

What small ones? the only small ones in the instrument cluster have coloured plastic with a symbol on it - which is why the seatbelt is red and the high beam is blue etc etc

The only ones you can change the colour of is the 4 gauges - Fuel/Temp/Tacho/Speedo

Yes but these are for your warning lights - ie brakes, seatbelt, high beam, fuel etc

These globes - you cannot change the colour of because there is a film of plastic that is shaded.

Therefore please see above msg.

i want to put the blue socks on my bulbs

dont bother
its a waste of $5

it makes the light yukky and duller,

ive tryed it

also blue painted globes, dont bother they are ugly, and dull

leave the originals, or get some LEDs

for the socks im sure it was $5 for 5

blue bulbs for 2 were $15...........
so $30 for some shitty blue lights, that dont even look blue..

save if for some leds..

4 leds in a wedge base is the best thing you can do...

so dont waste your money like i did...

good luck
