Hi Mike, did you ever get around to trying this..?

Since fitting my green Defi's the green dash on my 05 wrx looks a bit dull, so I'm going to try replacing bulbs with green LEDS. Not even sure I'm getting the right bulbs, but for ~£8 for x10 delivered it's worth a punt..

stop stop
m8 as far as im aware all dash bulbs are clear the colour comes from a plastic cup beteween the bulb and the actual instrument,try taking these out first should brighten up you dash,also a fraction of the cost.
good luck

Ah thanks, however, as I want to increase the 'greenness' of the dash I'm hoping green LEDs will accomplish this..

Did you get the LED's fitted? I'm in the same boat, the Defi green is much more intense so wouldn't mind slotting some LEDs in the dash if the match improves.

Cheers,

Tony.
