bulb covers
installed gauges tonight, got the isspro boost gauge, but now i need some sort of green bulb cover so that it matches the rest of the gauges.
i love everything about the way it looks, except that at night, i cant stand having the white gauge in a sea of green gauges.. ya know ??
where do i get a green bulb, or a green bulb cover ??

I've been trying to pick out some gauges for my pickup too and was told the Isspros look like the factory gauges. I seen on one website, (can't remember which one and I don't have time right now to go back and look) that Isspro offers a green bulb cover. Sorry I can't remember the site. I know, I'm not much help, but there is hope for your problem. If I have time in a couple hours I'll help out more.

I'm still not happy with the Isspro boost gauge color even with the cover. It is still whiter than my others and I'm thinking of trying the LED from Autometer.

my pyro is the red/yellow/green kind, so it is not an issue, it looks very factory also.

I never thought about using two covers on them, might be a cheaper option.

From the info I have found so far the T10 = 194 , 168 type bulbs so the Auto Meter one will fit. As for the dual T5's used in the other guages I have found a source for those also. Check out the links.

This is quoted out of the installation guide on the diesel manor site
"Apply your colored bulb covers to all of your gauge bulbs. The pyrometer and trans temp gauges use (2) T-5 size bulbs each. The boost gauge uses (1) size T-10 (shown here). If you find that your boost gauge is slightly brighter you can mark the bulb with a permanent colored marker as shown above. Just a few lines will do. Make sure you cover the area that the bulb cover doesn't cover. This is where white light can be emitted."
