    unless your changing the dials as well dont bother, there just the normal old yellow filliment bulbs, the dials have increment coloured in the dials so you can only change it with new dials faces.

    so just replace the dials and the bulbs? or would i have to redo the whole lighting set up behind the dash?

    yeh you can buy custom dials to suit the colour you want, then just buy clear or white bulbs to light them up, you can by led ones as well which is what i have fitted, much brighter, from memory it's a T5 type bulb.

    yep, in the first post he says he wants blue. blue goes through the green backing and still appears blue.
