Bulb socket rubber cap

I took a look at walmart few days ago and thought they would be selling these color rubber caps for the bulb sockets that goes into the cluster and they don't. I haven't tried autozone or kragen yet but i wanted to ask if anywhere else...(besides like online ebay or so).

IMO the only good condoms are the factory ones that Toyota uses. When you buy the cluster bulbs they are already in place on the bulbs. The others just block too much light. Sad to pay that much just for the cover, but it was the best choice for me.

O.K. I was not trying to be funny, it was an honest answer.

The sleeves by toyota used are much lighter shade and allow more light to pass, I cant be certain but I think they are available in red. The aftermarket ones block almost all light imo.

I love the old school Toyota green illumination, too bad it's almost gone now.

CraigW is correct.

The colored rubber cap comes pre-installed on the bulbs that Toyota sells for the instrument cluster.

Buy them at the dealer. You should be more receptive to other people's answers since they are merely trying to help.
