5T4R7ET N/A Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 i was changing the interior lights and got stuck with the clock. there is no LED with the clock.i took the clock apart and found that there is a plastic film which is yellow in colour that the numbers show through. even without the film in front the clocks still light up in green.will i be able to change it to blue???i also took out the switches on the right on the steering wheel. these have very small LED inserts. i have headlights adjusting switch and foglight. both has these small LED's. has anyone changed these???thanks for your help in advance.

Nanglebadger Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 scutch changed his clock to blue many years ago by painting blue glass paint or something similar over the top of the plastic infront of the numbers.many years ago i also took the bulbs to the right of the steering wheel out for a look and yes they are tiny, either 506 or smaller, i painted one of them blue but it didnt really make much difference tbh, dont think it was strong enough to show through.Phil.

5T4R7ET N/A Posted July 10, 2010 Author Share Posted July 10, 2010 thanks Phil was thinking to paint small LED's as well but wanted to get proper blue LED's. I think I'm going have to do some experimenting with some LED's off ebay.will look into what scutch done with his clocks. hopefully i can find it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lukEp Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Ive looked at changing the clock display but its not going to be easy as the lcd is backlite with green leds but its a sealed unit i thought about putting some coloured film like a roses sweet wraper over it but it still looked green so just left it as it was Quote Link to post Share on other sites
