    I've got my instrument panel apart. The colored lenses for the turn signals are not looking so good. What have you guys used to repair these ?

    I would guess you could buy that at a hobby store. Has heat been an issue ?

    I want to try a couple green bulbs - thanks for the suggestion       alien 

    (as for the clear glass behind the gauges, I found out the hard way - just how brittle it WAS. lol)
