Dumb question, i fancy changing my instrument/dash lights from green to blue. Is it just a case of changing bulbs? :oops:

Yes and no :). There are green filters that cover the white bulbs so you could probably remove these. The back of the speedo dial has a green filter that is screen printed onto the rear, so you will always get a greenish tinge to the markings.

As Simon says, they are green filtered... I would hazard a guess blue may not cut through...?!! There is a yellow tint at the bottom of the dial/clock needles/pointers, so you may find it reverts back to a different shade of green?? (Though, i forgot what colour the needles are meant to be on the clocks..) Yellow?? :oops:

Red leds cut through without too much modding even on the switches...

You can just make out the needles on the dials here...

& centre is a red led behind a green filter on the spot light switch too.. Though, i did use a blue led behind the green filter on the cigarette lighter socket.

Hope this helps..
