Bulb "condoms"/filters

[logic]

I've been trying to track down a source for the bulb "condoms" (bulb filters?) that come stock on the lighting for our gauges; specifically, I'd like to replace the orange with blue (yeah, I'm a lemming). Normally, I have no trouble finding stuff like this, but I don't really know what to call them, let alone where to source them.

Any suggestions? No, I'm not going to rewire every light in my gauge cluster with LEDs; I've already started down that path with the center dash controls and HVAC lighting, and I'm a little tired of soldering at this point.

hey man, have you ever pulled out the cluster to actually look at the back? i have a 90, not sure if it changes in 99.... but in the 90 the gauges themselves are orange the back of the cluster has 20 or so light bulbs that just twist-lock into the back of the cluster and they dont have any boots on them

also at our local Pepboys they have blue bulb covers if you REALLY have bulb covers and need them.... we could work out and i could get some and maybe mail them to you if you live in a location where there isnt a pepboys .... they are like 1.99$ for 3 of them...

i got them for my autometer boost gauge

I've got bulb covers on mine (the cluster is sitting on my kitchen table right now). One of the local Pep Boys around here didn't have any, but a local Murray's had them...but in the much larger size (same as the Autometer boost gauge bulb size, handy to know for when I do that gauge, but not what I need right now unfortunately).
