Orange silicone caps for instrument cluster bulbs?

Howdy! Does anyone have a source for the orange silicone caps for the cluster bulbs? Half my gauges are out, so I figure I should get off my ass and replace them all before winter actually gets here... (4 x 194 IIRC?)

Or is there a decent suitably colored LED replacement bulb that looks stock...?

 

I just took mine off the old bulbs and put them on the new ones. They come right off.

 

Same, I rolled my old ones off and they fit perfectly on the new bulbs. If yours are messed up try hitting up a junk yard.

 

Bulb rubbers?!

 

Yup, when I replaced my shifter light it was like a light condom...

 

Ive ordered from here.

Yep they slip right off

 

Definitely switch to the blue covers, your eyes will really appreciate it!

 

Blue light actually hurts your eyes...

Its why your smartphone has a blue light filter on it.

 

Orange would bother the eyes after awhile, blues don't seem to bother at all, same with the instrument cluster, put in the Phillips blue bulbs, no issues. I guess it effects people differently.

 

orange/red is best for your night vision.

 

And sleep

 

hopefully not while driving.

 

Depends on the driver

 

lol

 

We quit using red for night vision in the military in the early 80's, blue/green has been determined to be the best for night vision. To each his own, some people adapt better with their own preference.

 

Pulsing red light is used in eye repair.

 

Almost all of my cars have had orange instruments. Orange is way better for your night vision than blue/white is. Got lucky and my caps came off without tearing. I've had them melted to the bulb before and were not removable. That Bulbtown link is awesome. Thanks!

 

Depends on what you're trying to achieve. The goals for military applications are generally very different from civilian applications.

You don't see as well with red light, but red also doesn't ruin your un-aided night vision, which you need to see out the window at night.
