Who knows how to make turn signals blue?

I'm about to put indiglo gauges and I would like to know how do you change the color of your turn signals. Is there a write-up? I emailed araffio but he never got back to me. Let me know...thanx

If you're talking about inside the guages, I believe by changing the transparent covering where the turn signals light up...just change the transparent cover to blue. (The stock ones are green in color). So, when the lamp lights up, the signal indicator will light up blue.

What can I use to make it blue? Can I paint the green one?

You can put blue LED bulbs (74) to replace the original ones. The green won't affect the color that shines through

I put regular LED's in mine and the LED's are so bright you can't even tell that it was green. Here is a pic.

Does anyone know where I can get the leds to do this? Will the ones on ebay work? No store I have gone to has #74 led bulbs, the smallest they have are 194. Autozone only had the clear #74 bulbs. Is there any other way I can get my tun signals blue?

could someone who did this mod please answer the following questions for everyone here that seems to be getting indirect answers:

1. There is no soldering needed? (Just replace stock bulbs with new ones?)
2. How many bulbs are needed to transform the entire gauge panel to a different color? (everything from the fuel level to the temp)
3. Is there anything at all that has to be done other than "plug n play" for this mod?

Thanks

I believe for 95-96 its just a matter of swapping out the bulbs, but i dont think its that way for 97-up gauges. You have to solder and stuff....
