My red HUD disappoints me

[shadowBOXIN]

As soon as i find my camera I'll get some pics. I put that capacitor in it about 1.5 months ago and then it broke loose causing it to come on and off. Sooo, I pulled it apart A-G-A-I-N re-soldered the capacitor and decided to put red bulbs in. Well aparently the bulbs aren't dark enough and it looks like a salmon red now. I wanted to do green but can't find any. Only red and blue. Damn......wheres is that camera?:squint:

^^ agree with kdashy...
they should make a "let all your ranting and bitching out thread"

[TheTimanator]

if you decide to try red bulbs again or "hyper" white order them from these people:

Had their red bulbs on my car for 3 years now and they haven't faded one bit.

Moon is only 3/4 full. Damn lazy moon, I am so disappointed in you!

Anyone have a write up?

[shadowBOXIN]

Thanks. I got my bulbs from advance auto. I guess for now I will pull them out and color them darker w/ a red sharpie. I want that rich deep red like some grand ams or audi's.

[johngriff]

That is amber orange.

Buy real led's. Not cheap ones, that will be the easy fix.

[shadowBOXIN]

LED's would be nice but these are regular incandescent bulbs like the stock ones but red.

This thread disappoints me... Because it is completely worthless.

[shadowBOXIN]

Well I pulled the hud out out and put a few coats of ford red 500' paint on them. Then popped em back in and used a combo of the blue covered bulbs with the freshly painted ones. Now that shit looks good.:boink: I'll def put a pick of it tomarrow night and see what you all think.

It freaking blows but living in Wilmington (where I'm from) is too expensive. Didn't put pic up yet b/c my net was down for past day and a half.

Here is my HUD. Red area's are brighter in person. http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r16/240rider/100_0044.jpg

I thought you said you did the HUD, that's just the cluster.

Yeah that shit looks good. I didn't put the actual hud in because mine is broke (dislays 126) with key on acc. and I didn't want to cut a hole in my perfect no crack dash.

I lived in Wilmington for 20 years (born and raised).

If you think Wilmington is expensive, try living in Las Vegas.

My mortgage owns me.
