my 2" autometer gauges came with red and green bulb sleeves, Does anyone know if you can buy blue sleeves? I checked my local sturdevants but they didnt have any and i asked they said they cant get any? Does anyone know where to get that or something else that will work to make it blue, painting isnt a very good option. Thanks

Autometer part #3207 ;) Blue bulb sleeve/covers.
I have a couple I ordered a while back to use with my tach. If you can get a hyperwhit bulb that'll fit in your guage(s), get one, and then put the blue cover over it, it'll make the guage illuminate ALMOST as close as resembling a reverse indiglo effect, with the intensity and deep color of the blue, has the bluish green look to it. More on the blue side actually, I say you need a hyperwhite bulb though, because it's brighter than the stock clear bulb, and it'll broaden the effect of the blue bulb cover, I am using this same trick right now in my "3 3/8 Auto Gage series tach I have in my car, it looks TIGHT! Thankfully my tach uses a 194 sidemarker type bulb for the illumination, so finding a hyperwhite bulb, was a piece of cake. Also the hyper bulb WITHOUT a cover on it looks really nice too, gives your guages that HID look to them. :D
