Does anyone know what year vehicles had which color. I am missing a couple green bulb covers in my 01 sport. I had to change a couple blown bulbs, the headlight switch bulb, and rear defrost bulb. The cover was heated to the bulb and tore when I tried to take it off, so I have white light instead of green. I was able to find a few small bulb covers but they were blue, came from a 97 mountaineer, but I need green.

Does anyone know when Ford started using the green bulb covers, or what other Ford vehicles may have them? I am sure the explorer, mountaineer, and ranger, but any others?
 












I thought about led's but the only led's I could find are at radio shack. The green ones I looked at, are only 10ma and 20mcd. I am not sure if that would be bright enough. I would have to use a 1k 1/4watt resistor to. These were the specs.

Typical MCD is 20. This 5mm Green LED has a typical wavelength of 565mm.

* T-1-3/4 size (5mm)
* Green lens color
* Viewing angle of 30°
* 10 mA current max
* Typical voltage 2.2V, with a maximum of 2.4V

For my cause it would probably just be easier to find some green bulb covers at the junkyard. Thanks.
