Depends on what you need them for.

I needed to replace the dash lights on my old 1998 Camry, and those had little green "condoms" on the bulbs. I looked everywhere for them, but no one carried them. I tried to save the ones that were on the old bulbs, but they had almost melted onto bulb due to their age.

The only place that I found them was at the dealership- they sold the bulb with the condom already on it. They weren't too expensive- I think like 5 bucks for a set of 4. (The cheapest trip to the dealer ever)

If you aren't looking for dash lights, I'm not really sure where you can find them. (Sorry)

Pepboys has a bunch of these bulb condoms for interior lights. Another option is using colored acetate. Basically a transparent colored paper that goes over the light and changes the color of it. I would assume both of these methods would decrease the brightness to some point though.

I have seen green colored 194 bulbs at WalMart. I tired one once but they didn't exactly match the green color of the OEM Toyota bulbs, so if you are going to use these in the dash, it would be best to replace all the dash bulbs with these. I always thought Toyota dealers were the only place to get these bulbs with the right colored condom so I'm glad to hear Pep Boys carries them. I will check that out the next time I am there.

If you let them bulbs get together all alone they might pop out a christmas tree light or something - always use the condoms
