  • Picture: Speedometer now lights up red for $8

    I got a couple bulbs from Autozone (#194) and replaced the white ones behind the speedometer with them. It turned out much better than I thought that it would. I figured that it would be pink, but looks like a deep red. They also sell blue bulbs for those of you who would like it to look like the reverse inidglo's. Let me know what you think.

    Damn, that looks pretty awesome man. I'm going to have to try this one out. Is it hard to remove the bulbs? do you have any instructions? Thanks

              Shiot, your oil pressure is low. Anyway, how many red bulbs would I need to do that?

                its nice to see that camaros want to look like firebirds, lol. BTW good job. And I don't think his oil pressure is low, I just think his car was not on. Look at the Rpm's

                  Good call, I didn't even look at that [img]smile.gif[/img] .
                  Red dash lights are one of the few things that Firebirds have that I want....along with the design of the doors and the pop-up headlights.

                    Your car would have to be on in order to have the lights lit up, maybe the key was just turned forward, but the car wasnt started. :D

                      If car had to be on, how would people leave their lights on? [img]smile.gif[/img]

                      I like the all red look...i may have to try that, but then it wouldnt match my cd player. Oh well.

                          Will this work on a '93, with all the ugly yellow on the speedo?

                            Got you beat. I got the same effect for $0.97 [img]smile.gif[/img] Red oil-based enamel hobby paint did the trick on mine, and it hasn't faded the slighetst bit after 18 months. I had the 194R's in my old car and they were pink after a month.

                            Looks good though!
