does anyone know the wattage on the gauge globes? the three big ones.. Because today I bought some bulb covers and they say "recommended for instrument and interior globes only [5 watt max]" but when I had them on, after about 5 minutes of turning my lights on, i smelt burning rubber (well technically silicone) and some faint smoke was coming from the gauge. found out the covers couldnt take the heat..

idk but if you want to change the color of your gauge lights why not just get whole new bulbs? i think it looks a lot better than just putting new covers on.
get type 146 i think it is. wal mart has tons of different colors |
