Can some kind soul save me from having to disassemble my gauge pod in the dark and the rain and tell me for sure whether the OEM bulb covers are blue or green?

They are blue.

I was afraid of that... *sigh*
Thanks, Tallboy...

Desperate plea: "Anyone who has replaced the OEM gauges with something different and no longer needs the OEM bulb covers, I will buy them from you".

The blue covers AutoMeter sells are WAY too dark and don't match the OEMs at all...

***UPDATE***

Thanks to the generosity of AzMarauder, I now have 2 more OEM bulb covers that DO in fact match my existing ones.

The blue bulb covers AutoMeter supplies to the aftermarket are NOT the same as the ones they supplied to Ford. The OEMs are much lighter and more transparent than the aftermarket covers. I will be installing them tonight and let y'all know if my excellent adventure is finally over.

Thanks Az, and thanks for the offer Norm...I may still take you up on it, in case I add any MORE gauges. :D :D

No worries RF.. glad I could help.....
Send me a picture of them lit up at night so I can see how it came out?
