Right i want to change the colour of the green dials to white to match my defi's is it just a case of changing the bulbs ? or is it slightly more complex than that.
2nd option is to change the defi's from white to black ive got the BF range
Any help and advise would be gratefully recieved
Cheers

From what i got on the link, i believe you need to sand the back of the dials down to remove the green colour as i asume the bulbs/led are white, then yes bulb/led change to colour you want the lights to be, or a cover over the original bulb/led. willsy

If you disassamble the dash cluster you will find that the light bulbs are clear and shine onto a green film - which can be removed - and so giving you a choice of colours to light up your dash with.

alun supplied me with all the goods to do my new age as an experiment for him to produce a kit for the new age. the only probs at the moment are they dont make bulbs small enough for the hvac display. so i soldered them direct to the circuit board. i have also now done ignition switch,ciggy lighter,interior light and glove box,,,,,,,,,,,,,all in cool blue!
