Hi all,
I want to change the color of the dash lights to blue to match the blue stepper motor guages i fitted a while back.I've read on here that some of you use a film to cover the bulbs,so could anyone tell me where in Essex i could buy that and also instructions on how to do it
Many Thanks
John

 

maplins for the colour stuff. and its really simple once you have the dials out. i have done mine loads of ties now just because i can . lol.

what model you got it might help people with exact discription on how to remove dials

 

*****!! Yeah sorry mate its a 54 plate STi,type uk.
What is the film you use called and how much is it

 

Just been on Maplins website and couldn't find any film for this
Anymore help anyone?

 

there was a thead on here the other day about it. somthing gel the stuff is called lol

liquid gel or magic gel.

 

ok mate,i'll try looking for it,thanks for trying to help anyway

 

buy some plamas! simples!

 

G them are stunning mate

 

Very nice. Can you get them for a 54 plate type uk STI? If so where from and how much?

 

just hit ebay mate.. they had em for all sorts of cars. they can change color too and are on a dimmer.

DONT GET THE CHEAP ONES!! mate did with his vecra and the transformers keeped blowing!

 

Ok mate,cheers,i'll have a look

 

in the earlier scoobs the bulbs on the clocks are the same bulbs as the sidelights and easily picked up from many places cheap as chips unsure if they are the same on newer models so could be worth strippin out clocks

 

Foofighter.... Did you ever manage to change your colour on your dials?? If so, how? Cheers.

 

They are stunning!! Were did you buy them?

What car are they in? The dials look exactly the same as mine apart from mine are the other way round, speen n revs

 

Hello mate,yes i did.I got the plasma dial kit as suggested above.If you look in my album there are 2 pics of them,day and night.

 

are the plasma sets easy to fit

 

I found them to be mate.The only prob i had was finding the sidelight wire to connect them too

 

Cheers for that Foofighter.. I was going to go down the "lighting gel" way. Ive cracked into the dash and all the bulbs are clear. The green tint comes from the back of the dial face and I was told that removing the dial needle`s would break them. ve got a few idears but wondered if you had found a way..thanks again.

 

No prob mate I don't know if you know or not but when you fit plasmas you don't have to remove the needles you just thread them through the centre hole of the dials.They come with fitting instructions to show you how

 

You dnt remove the temp and fuel needles when fittting lockwood dials just the rev and speedo needles using 2 spoons,If you get the lockwood easyfit dials you will be fine,If you fit plasma dials you dont have to remove any needles but you have to keep original dials underneath the plasma ones as they have the speedo and rev stopper on.Found this all out the hard way after fitting lockwood dials and got through 2 sets of clocks.

 

foofighter can you remember the seller you used on ebay

 

Yes mate,it was a company called Visual-Performance,hope that helps
