Hi people
im wanting to change the colour of the whole dash/consol/clocks lights but no idea where to start, where to get the right coloured bulbs or is there a way to modify existing bulbs to another colour?
Any advice would be great.
cheers

What model rex do you have? some are easier than others.

The speedo is really easy, you can either change the T10 bulbs to LED's or just get standard bulbs and use silicon sleaves to change the colour i.e. red, blue, orange, pink, and green.

 

ive got a 1993 wrx import, not sure if the import bit makes a difference

 

It should be pretty simple then, there will be two screws in the underside of the speedo facia, undo them. Then there will be three more screws holding the speedo in, undo them and pull it out carefully, feel behind it to see if its the old cable type. Which the clips can brake easy on, just take your time to release it. Then you just pull the bulbs out of the back.

 

sounds easy thanks for your help mate

 

Incorrect info.

Remove the whole cluster.

4 screws hold the surround, then 4 screws hold the dial cluster in place.

Speedo cable should pull off fairly easily, more tricky are the wiring plugs, 2 large ones either side, and a small one on the right, when looking at it in situ.

If you want the lights brighter, they are crap after all, just remove the rubber covers from the bulbs.

 

something for the weekend. how many bulbs do u need and where from?

 

Whats not correct? cant you read?

See where I say "pull it out carefully, feel behind it to see if its the old cable type. which the clips can brake easy on, just take your time to release it."

Once you release the speedo cable, does it not come out? idiot!

 

done with syling gel....not bulb changes

heater controls changed with bulbs

 

do you still have the old leds out of the heater control. mine have decided they dont want to light up anymore and am trying to source some.

 

Maplins do them...95p each.....

not a problem .........

 

if i am correct 6 or more of the bulbs on the clocks are actaully the same as the side light bulbs. im planning on doing this on the weekend

 

dont bother going down that route.... it will look crap 2 b honest.....tried it m8.....styling gel is the only way 2 go m8

 

Does anyone know what type of bulbs and how easy it is on a 54 plate uk sti? Thanks in advance

 

ok. where do i get that from. i have lockwood facia over mine and finding its really realy dark

 

any good music shop should do it...they use it for stage lighting......different colour film.... just lay the film over the back of the gauges and tape in place... that way the light that is filtered will be perfect.....AND NOT DARK AND BRIGHT ALL OVER THE PLACE..............

 

ah right. i know the stuff your on about, bit confused over theback of the gauges part lol
