Anybody Fitted These Before ?

[Big P UK300]

Ive been wanting to change the colour of my interior bulbs that display the speedo , rev counter , etc! I dont like the original green ilumination .

Ive seen blue led's for sale on e-bay that would look really good especially with the yellow needles (subaru colours) Has anyone bought these and fitted them?

Does anyone think i should'nt bother ?

All opinions appreciated

Heya,

You can change the colour of the bulbs but you may not get the desired effect. I've fitted red led's behind the cluster for the moment but the LCD displays I've kept green. Reason being is that the natural colour for the display is green and the red bulbs don’t illuminate the display properly.

Also the bulbs that are in teh dash are basically white ones with a green rubber cover to gain some green colour. But to confuse things more that's not where the green comes from. The plastic "Tracks" which light from the bulbs travels through to illuminate the dash is green So no mater what colour of bulb you use it will also go through a green filter.

For example I had a few blue bulbs left over from my previous car and the dash came out a greeny blue colour! Best bet is to get some super bright side angle LED bulbs (Ones with a flat top to distribute the light sideways if that makes sense) but apparently to do it properly you need to pull apart the dash and sand off the green filter ont eh tracks to make them clear. I'm on the look out for a STi dash for my WRX so I can get the red background, failing that find a 2nd hand dash which I can mod. But probably still wont be able to change the LCD colour

Hope this helps.. MOre importantly I hope someone comes along with a better solution

(Edited: Forgot to mention with the green filter on the green filter on the tracks not only will the colour be affected slightly (But brighter bulbs should override most of the filter) but also the overal brightness will be less. By dash is darker than standard but can still make it out when dark)
