One way to change the color of the light is to put a filter in front of the bulbs- I did this on my wife's Scirocco. I used 2 layers of red vellum to replace the green, translucent plastic piece in the cluster. Vellum's readily available in the hobby aisle- Hobby Lobby's got lots. It looks good... if enough people bug me for it, I could take a picture when she gets home tonight. I've heard that blue isn't always a good choice, because it ends up not being as bright- but if your lights are bright enough, then YMMV... -Simon At 11:18 PM +1000 6/24/02, Christopher Mundy wrote: >Hi, > >Has anyone had experience with filters to change the colour of your >dashboard lights?
