As standard they are a kinda dull manky whiteish type colour which looked ok I suppose.

However now I have a triple guage pod mounted at the top of my centre console with balck face dials ith white numbering and red needles.

I thought to myself, "Damn it would look good if the standard dials matched that colour". SO I bought some super bright LEDs. didn't work, came out a pale blue through the dials with concentrated spots where the bulbs where. so then I bought some super white normal bulbs (The ones that have a blue outer surface but glow white. didn't work either, better spread but still a pale blue.

I see the standard bulbs are the old style yellow ones with blue condoms on them. They are alright but I just want brighter to match the new dials.

 

Any suggestions?

The dial faces have a blue hue impregnated onto them im afraid, so all you can do is add some white 24cm flexible led strips around the 2 main dials, basically forcing the white through.

Take a look in the how to section for the write ups

I was hoping that wasn't the case! :\

At a bit of a stab in the dark... The blue hue might come off the back if the dials. Try using a glass fibre pen. You can get them in Halfords scratch repair kits. Did this on a friends focus rs to remove the standard green hue and then just use whatever bulbs he wanted to create the desired colour.

 

I'm saying all this as a complete guess as I'm not sure what the backs of the clocks are like

That's just crazy enough to work. Might crack them open and try that some time.

Good luck :cool3:
