what you can do is use a hobby paint ( transparent ) to spray it blue. i did it to my stock face. too bad it isnt working.

Re: Dash lights - green -->Blue
Take out the green sleeves and paint the bulbs blue - Might want to paint them a little darker than you think they should be
Re: Dash lights - green -->Blue
That won't work, the plastic that the numbers are printed on appears to be white, but is green coated, so no matter what you do to the bulbs, they will still have a tint of green, or not be a very bright blue.

If you were yo get it black with blue, it would be just the way you want it.

Re: Dash lights - green -->Blue
yep. before i got my speedhut, what i did was grinded and sanded out the green part and then spraypainted it blue. but its true if you change the bulb to a different color itll still light up green unless you take that green stuff out.

Re: Dash lights - green -->Blue
well people!!<BR>i believe spending some money and gettin an indiglow gauge or whateva is more efficient than taking out the gauge and tryin to paint it. this dude who i bought my blue car has done it, first of all the numbers are notvisible in day time since the gauge trim is black and colors kinda match, second of all, the lights wont be so powerful to light up them @ night.<P>anywhoz, just buy some gauge off of ebay and make yourself less trouble! <P>anywhoz, thas my experience!<P>latez
Re: Dash lights - green -->Blue
ok<BR>screw it<BR>the indiglo gauges from speedhut are in!
