Default Wanting To Change Dash Globes

I'm wanting to pull my dash out and put a different colour globe behind there (more than likely blue) to light up the factory fascia with.

I've heard a rumour that you can get kits containing all the bulbs necessary to do it all in one hit? If so, who makes these and what is the best place to get them?

Otherwise, if someone can let me know exactly what type of globes/bulbs I'll need, I'll see about getting blue versions of them all before I pull the thing to bits.

I don't wanna do all my fan controls, just the actual dash gauges. Any help appreciated, thanks!

you can get silicone covers for them, repco sell them, the only problem is that you need 1 or 2 clear globes in there also otherwise the needles are really hard to see at night, i know someone did a good write up on doing this at some stage, it is on this site somewhere

That might have been me, and that was converting the globes to LEDs.

If you have a series one with the orange needles, then you just scrape the orange off, and the blue will work fine. If you have an AU2 with the red plastic needles, then scraping doesn't work, and you can't really see the needles, unless you use a red LED or 2.

Yeah that's not a bad idea, any idea what they charge for the whole cluster though?

If its gonna be too much I might just scab the needles from it.

Another thought I just had, was some super thin electro luminescent style tape or ribbon to attach to the needles, although that would probably be so much of a pain it wouldn't be worth it.

are the other parts of the car that much similar that you can only tell the difference between them by the colour of the dash?

Nah, I don't think I've ever seen your car at night (last Tue night you bought out your wife's), its always been day time, and I haven't even thought to look at your cluster and get you to turn the lights on!

Will suss it out next time you're out though hey

Holy crap, just reading through the how-to that JC linked to, its for coloured LED's that looks like real pain to do it. I was hoping to just change colour globes, anyone know what size the globes are, I'll see if I can just get blue globes to save the soldering and resistors and stuff.

Thanks Jim, so I know to ask for T5 globes when I hit the shops tonight!

As for a hand, I may just need it, depends if you're free on the weekend, I'm really hoping to do the changeover Saturday if possible. I'll talk to you about it via MFC PM.

And thanks to everyone else for your help and stuff too!

Well, I've got four blue T5 LED's here, and two white (for needle illumination).

I can't seem to see in the pics which two need to be the white ones best for the needles, so any help here before I pull the thing apart tomorrow would be great!

From memory, there's one that' positioned between the speedo and tacho - this is the only one you'll need, but the blue and white light will lend, resulting in a less bright blue light, which still won't light up the needles. You need to use a red or orange globe if you have red needles - the colour of the dash lights then changes from blue to purple, to orange/red, back to purple, then blue. It's actually pretty cool; not as good as all blue, but different, and definitely ricey!.

Thanks JC, I now have the decision to make then, whether to shoot down to my local auto parts retailer and grab an orange T5, or whether to shoot down to the wrecker for some series 1 needles.

If I was to go the needle option, how hard is it to open the cluster to remove the needles?
