Changing dial backlight colour

[JD]

I want to change the backlight colour of all the dash dials to red (including the aircon light). Is there an easy reference on how to get at all the bulbs (I know how to get at the air con buldbs - thanks Daz ) , and do I need to buy new coloured bulbs or can I colour the ones in there - OR do I need to change my dials ..................phew
Cheers

I found a link on www.type-f.co.uk for fitting allu. dial rings, which set out how to take out the speedo etc, so that's ok.

I took them all out and dipped the bulbs in red enamel paint, taking care not to get any on the contact wires and they look OK. I could do with them being a bit brighter though, (mind you they were never too bright to begin with).

Anyone know if you can get brighter dash bulbs - and if so where?

Cheers

There was a guy called MarkFTO on the FTOOC forum that stocked
different coloured dash bulbs not so long ago, try popping him an email to see if he can sort you out => marcusiuss@hotmail.com

I know i was helpful but not too helpful as i still want somethings origional on my motor but it seams everywhere i look now someone else is doing the same thing, guess i'll have to start modding my baby again with something different, Anyway you can get a full dash bulb kit from a mate of mine Patt torr, he's always on the jcars and that, i'm going to send him your e-mail address and tell him you might be wanting stuff of him ok!, And i'm going to england for xmas and if he has them and you have arrange payment i can bring them back with me.

I noticed Patt mentions the dash bulb kits on his site but they've been 'available soon' for few months...

Aye thats correct there very hard to get the sets put together, but he managed to do one for me, I guess it's not what you know but who you know
