Hmm - is this as simple as changing the bulbs or does it involve scraping dye off the back of the dials etc?

depends on the colour you go for some colours will pass throught the yellow filter on the back of the dials others will look odd as the filter changes the colour

i think blue and white are two of the colours that the filter needs removing but there may be others too

Huh? How do you do that? When I looked I'm sure there wasnt a bulb just for the needles?

Does anyone have any pictures of their changed dash colours? I'm thinking of doing mine as I need to replace a bulb anyway so while it's all out I'm thinking of replacing the lot? Was going to change the speedo and rev dials to Blue?
