I used Narva "Condom" tongue.gif

Hey guys,

sorry about not replying... i kinda forgot about this thread...

but i just went and took some photos.. i've attached it to this thread...

The main RED is a T-5 Bulb (Red)
and the A/C and the heat line thingy are both LED

as for the clock... mm... that's just the stock without the condom... (coz i didn't have enough bulbs... unsure.gif )

cheers...

another cheaper alternative is to simply take of the green condoms which are on the leds to start with and use TAMIYA hobby paints....use either clear red/blue pending on which colour you want and apply about 5-10 layers....depending on how dark you want the colour.

Sportiv has used this with great results smile.gif
