What have you done to your MSP today?

...4 bulbs like I said

Each bulb has a red condom over them but I believe the gauge faces have a little bit of red tinge to them. The light output sucks big time because its only 4 bulbs. However adding gauge rings helps immensly which is why its such a sought after item.

I know, I read that before. Let me rephrase, how many bulbs would a normal 4 door compact sedan have?

And one would think that by simply removing the red "condom" off the bulb would suffice to making it brighter since there is already a red tint.

Lastly, how would the DaveB gauge rings help this cause?

no idea... maybe the reflection from the rings...?

Stops the light from running off the edges & "bounces" it back...
aka "refraction"

Interesting. Never knew that. I learned something today.

theres a reason VERY few manufacturers make white dashes, at least in the price range of the protege.... good luck. if it doesn't come out with some sort of tint, you will be a rich man.

im guessing its gonna be hard to get it sanded down right then?

removing the red condom didnt help much when i tried it. plus the middle of ur needles will be white light. looked kinda weird

 

[xJAZx]

i took the green condoms off mine and i still have red needles

take it apart and you'll understand. I took my corolla's apart a long time ago... I don't believe "sanding" is an option.

hmm well i guess ill find out when i try it but i thought i read somewhere that you could sand the tint off the back

 

[Wagonbacker9]

maybe, but I doubt you come out with the effect you're after.

Thas because the back of your needles are red and not the light.
