Changed bulb color behind gauges

This past weekend i put blue lights behind the gauges. This little mod was even easier than i had thought it would be. I just used blue colored bulbs so i know they will fade but i am wondering if anyone knows where you can buy or order those colored condom things that are over the factory installed dash lights?

I've used PIAA Plasma Blue wedge bulbs in my Maxima and my Altima. They don't fade and they are a great color blue...with a bit of purple in them. They look great.

Granted they cost a bit more, but I think they are worth it.

they are just colored rubber slip covers that go over the bulb, they are on the 4 bulbs behind the gauges and there is one with a cover on it that lights up down by the automatic transmission shift ****.

there are 4 bulbs total (size 194 i believe) for all the gauges, i bought mine at a local auto parts store, they were like $6 for all 4 bulbs, i dont know where to buy the more brand name bulbs but if you live in a larger market you maybe able to buy them at your local shop. its a cool cheap, easy little mod that everyone in your car will notice.

I know about those condom things you're talking about. I could use a bunch of those because I made the green light under the shifter blue and it turned white like 2 days later. I have no idea where they sell them, which sucks... I guess I'll fork out the dough for Plasma Blue bulbs.
