Green Bulbs? To Make Red Tinted Indicators Flash Orange

Featured Replies

Ok so if you tint your indicators red and put green bulbs in them do they flash orange? I have heard that they do but never seen it.

Where can you get green indicator bulbs?

Cheers

I've heard that if you buy green model paint from somwhere like hobby craft and paint the bulbs green....aparantly it works....?? No harm in trying....

you use leaded window stain and yes it does work

was just thinking about this.. my tail lights are all red n flash red. ooooops. kinda remembered the green paint thing.

doesnt red n green make brown tho?

so it really works? :paranoid: hobbie craft here i come! how many coats are needed or do u just dip the bulb.. wait to dry away i go.

Red and green makes brown only with paint - light works differently...!

Get to a craft shop and get a small bottle of green glass paint, it does work. They won't be properly orange, but orange enough to get through an MOT and not get hassle from the Police.

add wd40 to your paint and it will work alot better as it thins it but maintains the color

Green bulbs are readily available of eBay:
