fog light

I got blue rear clusters on my '89 Driver and need a red bulb for the back fog light, 'cos the white one that's in shines through white.

Can't find one to fit, but the chap at the garage said to paint a white one with red paint.

What paint? Anything special? And won't painting it red make it dimmer?

 

ive bought blue bulb paint before in car shops that works well, you need to put it in the oven to bake it one but dunno if they do red cant say ive ever seen it but this was ages ago.

or have you tried asking at the counter, they sometimes have bulbs that arnt in the shop part

 

mate did his indicator bulbs with orange nail varnish, they shine pink but nail varnish is an idea for you

 

Thanks, guys.

Jolfa - I'm off to buy some Estee Lauder then

Simon - why did you want blue bulbs?

Halfords or should I say Halfrauds sell it --- not that I like the place and its about 6 for a pot

 

Thanks - will go and try there.

 

my last car was a blue fiesta and for some reason i wanted blue side indicators so painted the bulbs
