  • dash lights

    if any of you out there are intrested in replacing your dash cluster light(speedo,rev counter, gauges, etc) then heres a simple way of doing it and it's cheap.

    either remove your exsiting blubs or by some new ones. by some glass paint from your local hobby store any colour will do (it's up to you). tape the blub to a cocktail stick or something similar. then dip it in the paint pot, wait for excess to run off, then repeat again once excess has run off, stick the other end of cocktail stick into some blue tac or similar. let it dry for recommended time on paint product. then replace bulbs.

    hey presto coloured bulbs.

    cost altogether 3.49

    go on give it a go. i did.

    i'll show you a before and after pic tommorow.

                        Nah, she's an educated welsh girl.


                        she wrote that as I was doing an oil change on my truck, must log-out next time.


                        p.s. I'm not Welsh, I is from Reading innit.
