An alternative to finding and installing new green plastic filters, is
to paint the halogen lights with glass paint. Believe it or not,
Wall-Mart sells this product in their craft department. It comes in a
plastic bottle and costs about $2.00. The paint withstands temperatures
up to 350 degrees. The green color is a perfect match.
I recently installed a new fascia panel and, in the process, dismantled
and cleaned all the instruments. In doing so, I noticed that the green
plastic filters in two of the engine instruments had melted. Since the
stock replacement bulbs are clear, the glass paint solution was a
perfect fix.
I was interested in trying the halogen bulbs, but decided against it
when I read that they cost $12 each, unless that was a misprint.
Anyway, hope the info on the lights helps someone.
