    i wanted to go just plain white... currently dont know what the stock colour is as i havent installed the cluster yet but i would have thought that the lights in the back of the cluster were just for the tacho, speedo fuel and temp?

    Standard is white globes for the temp, fuel, speed.

    Trip computer will have white globes with green defusers on the screens. If you take the green diffusers out you will get orange. To get blue - fit blue spark LED's.

    The clear plastic moulding around the dial spreads the light around. The dial face has green in it.

    Replace dials is needles off and unscrew the faces. Replace with with the white replacements. Hope needles go back in the correct spot

    Take the cluster out, undo the trip ribbon from the bottom of the cluster and undo the 2 mount screws for the trip computer. Then undo 3 screws from the fascia. Flip the top over and you have 6 screws.

    Caution is need at this point as the white fascia can snap real easy.
