This was discussed in an earlier thread under a different topic...
Anyway, finally got around to pulling the switch apart and sure enough, the little bulb responsible for illuminating the switch has a little blue bulb condom on it. From the previous thread I know some of you were looking for ways to turn this green so the switches would look like the rest of the dash. One thing I thought of was to paint the bulbs with transparent model making paint. Most hobby shops have this and it should work... but I am not sure how long it'd work. The other thing I thought of doing was to simply switch the two bulbs around so that when the switch is on, the little window would light yellow (or blue with the condom on) instead of green... that's assuming the two bulbs are of the same wattage. I assume they are... anyone know for sure?
Will be looking online to see if I can find the bulb condoms. Will post results of the search if I find any.
