Ahhh thanx!

The dials in the pic above are these...


Although the colour of the dials shouldn't affect the light that comes through. The dial itself doesn't let any light through, its only the numbers etc that are transleucent to allow the light through.

Cobra: What lockwood dials do you have, cos im wondering will a white background show the blue i have better?

Yrag, I've got Lockwood dials and this is how they light up from behind. I've replied to your post about the pins and if your interested, I can sort you out with any colour backlighting you want.

get a haynes manual, tells u how to do it oin there

Ok cheers how do you get the dash surround off? I tried the other day but couldnt get it out from the bottom.

Backlight as in behind your dials???

Its simply replacing your bulbs with blue leds available from certain folks on here, they twist into place. Or you can paint the existing bulbs using bulb paint, but the likely hood is that it'll eventually crack off.

1. samco make them, look in demon tweeks, think they have another company that does em too, they are very expensive though.

2. change the bulbs for blue ones.

Right just to keep it to one thread here is the first question:

1.Colour coded hoses for engine bay?
I want some blue hoses to colour code my engine bay, what is out there on the market?

2.Lockwood dials and blue backlight.
I want some white dials, but also dont want the boring standard back light, how do i go about legaly getting a blue backlight?


Cheers
