I tried finding color bulbs online but only found stock clear ones...
I found the color bulbs on ebay. The guy sells them in blue, red yellow and some more colors I think.

I need a blue light.


Like I said before, I'm blanning on puttin on two bloo LED's. Encase you guys havn't seen the bloo LED's Radio Shack carries, here is the pic.



The camera changed the color a little, those LED's came out a little bright than usual. But that color came out close enough.

I'm a computer modder and those LED's where originally orange. My computer theme is silver, carbon fiber, and white + bloo LED's. Just figgered I'd say that.

Thats the guy I bought them from. The only thing I didnt like was that he charges 4 bucks for shipping and sends them in an envelope with 70 cents worth of stamps. But oh well what can you do.

Just take out the cluster, in the back there are several black and brown things that hold the bulbs, with mine (2k1) the black ones hold the bulbs for the gauges and the brown are for the ancillary displays (turn signal, gear indicator etc). All you have to do is twist out the black ones, and color the bulb.

Crappy write up I know, but, once you get the gauge cluster out it is pretty self explanitory. There is a write up on how to remove the gauge cluster in the how to's. I would, as K Pazzo said color the bulb, wait for it to dry and repeat 5 or 6 times, red looks good, I think blue like the newer VW's also looks nice.
