i've just put my white dash faces in my car and the blue dials look great. now i want to make the rest of my interior lights blue as well like the aircon buttons, fan speed and the others. How can i do this properly without changing to LED's?

use the NARVA silicone sleeves, the 5mm ones i think, bout $3 for a pack 6 i think... u can just slide them over the globes and it will give it a blue touch, not as good looking as the LED's but it still works....

If you use BLUE LED and a white filter in the clock / trip computer and climate control they are a nice blue and dont fade ...

Got any pics of your blue dials? I'm interested to see what they look like, because I was thinking of doing it. |

Unclip the gray from the white then you need a little hex shaped screw driver to undo the 4 screws that hold it all together and then it all falls apart. The filter paper is bright orange on one side and white on the other. |

Trip computer / clock is easy ... you cant go wrong just take notice how it comes apart ... change the filter put it pack together the same way it came apart ... the climate control is harder to do because you have to desolder the screen ... i took mine to a tv repair shop , they desoldered it in 5 min ... put in the new filter then resoldered it ... Cost me $10 They are both a little dull in daylight but look great at night |

Thanks Ciggy, if you do get a cord or some photos I'd be very interested. |

If you want to change the original orange filter put in by Ford then pull apart a trip computer, remove the orange filter and buy various shades of colored plastic, cut a matching piece out of each shade and see what the trip computer looks like when you apply 12v to it. If the new filter is too pale then try another paler shade of plastic till you get your desired color. Once you have perfected your color then you can repeat the procedure for the climate control and the cluster odometer.
