Has anyone had any success changing the colour of the clock from that miserable blue/green colour to something decent and how ??,cheerZ Simon

 

Can't be done, it's a blue/green gas discharge display.

if you take it apart you can place a bit of thin film across it to make it proper blue but its very hard to see then, done this in a couple of other cars. or you could go get it refilled with a different colour, the hard part is finding somewhere that does it, i know the bus garage i work in here in ireland usues stuff to fill the light up bits on the newer buses....

refilled ? ,ive never heard of that ,i have however thought about the film idea

yeah theres a gas inside it that lights up, i think it can be refilled not 100% but all i know is that on the bus there is the same kinda dials for the heating adjusters and there were that green blue and started to fade and some just stopped working so they were regassed and are now bright blue almost torquise (spelling) colour.

I have a spare one. I will try and see if anything can be done and get back to you. :D

thats it,steal my thunder lol,thanks viniboy,i hope you get it sorted,because i reckon a clock with a new colour would be cool

If I get it done and it looks good I will let you know and even ship it out to you mate. NP. ;)

You're really limited in what colour filter you can put over the glass, unless you are going to replace the red plastic cover.

whats the red plastic bit do anyway if the gas charge in the clock is blue ????
