I'm down to the last few drops of the bottle of bulb dye I bought back
in the mid 1970's, and I'm not even sure I can get the bottle open now;
I asked the same question here a few years ago, and don't recall getting
a solution. Subsequently, I have read somewhere that the dyes (bottle?
spray?) sometimes used in stained glass lampshades, and available in
craft stores, are transparent tints and useabble in automotive lamp
applications, or at least the low-heat (comparatively) environment to be
found in dashboards.
