how do you change dash cluster lights

[daveee90]

Hey again..

Ive never been a fan of the dash cluster on a commodore and was wondering how easy/hard it would be to atleast change the green lighting to a bright blue or white light, or would i have to change it completely?

im a bad explainer, but i guess this is somewhat the colors of what im after in my vt.

Question 1.

Its not easy to change the green to a different color due to the backing on the facia plate itself is coated in a green paint. You will either have to slowly sand off the green, use a non corosive to gently eat off the green OR you can purchase an aftermarket facia plate from somewhere like ebay.

Once that standard face is finished/replaced, you can then either purchase some globe sleeves from most auto shops OR you can custom make/purchase an LED kit.


Question 2.

Its an easy job to do if you just replace the facia plate and globes with LED's.
Its not so easy doing it the other way.

To have someone custom fit LED's your looking at a bit of $$$.
Cant give you a quote but I would sya your looking at the $300 + mark (give or take)
