Does anyone know a source for TR3 dash light bulbs other than clear. Want more of a muted tone ie. Green or Orange or something similar to an aircraft dash display for night driving.
 
I've never seen colored bulbs that would fit; but you could try painting them yourself. Another approach might be to use colored filters for the windows in the small gauges, and paint the inside of the tach & speedo to match.

Personally, I just flip the switch off if they are bothering me at night.
 
You could visit a stained glass supply store and purchase some paint-on liquid stain. Just repeatedly dip the bulb in the stain until the color is achieved.
