    I think blue would look sweet. I've thought about it quite a bit, but never taken the effort to go one step further and ask myself "how?"

    They're probably just a bunch of LEDs or small globes that you could change with parts from Autobahn or Dick Smiths. When I buy an L2 dash, I'll take apart my old L1 dash and have a look

    its gonna be a bit harder then you think... the green colour isnt the colour of the globes, its the colour that is sort of painted on the back of the cluster faces, like the gear selector. you could probably have a go at scratching it off and see how it goes, but id rather buy on the of the white ones off ebay with the blue numbers already there, it will just save a lot of hassle and the white will look better anyways... just my 2 cents worth

    I've seen one where someone did that (scratch it all off) and it looked CRAP! If you're going to do it, do it properly and get a custom dash face made up.

    Here's mine, the only problem is that the red parts dont light up. It's brighter in real life too, the photo isn't great :


    I could arrange to do them for anyone interested, but you'd have to send me your cluster

    You could always get the speed graphics guy to do up a custom one for you .. He could change the colour of the speedo, but keep the back plate black if you don't want to go the white face....

    I can't complain about the quality, mine seem to be great ... And really easy to attach ...
