want to change green speedo lights on mk1 ...help!
« on: 30 January 2015, 10:33:02 pm »
Hi guys, just wanting to know if the clock light colour changes on later models that would be compatible with my 98 model.

Ive went with a black/grey/chrome scheme (clear indicators,  rear light etc) and the green lights on my speedo are doing my head in, I was thinking if a newer model had white lights I would just buy a full instrument cluster and put my inners in it to keep my original miles.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers, Al

Hello mate have a look on eBay copy this in to the search bar I know they are a 10 pack but better to have some spare when's you replace them if they don't work just remove the bulb holder and turn it around the other way bingo should work and give you a cool blue light will try a post a pic at some point, hope this helps

Sorry I should have mentioned the dials have a green film between the 2 disks that make the dial, ive seen the mod from white to blue so I went out and bought myself some white LEDs, changed them over and still green, thats when I noticed the green film, I was thinking on buying a later model instrument cluster if its white as standard, cheers for the replies guys  :D

Or is it that all clocks are green and the blue shines through?
