Blue lights 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be Ben H on  Mon Dec 3 12:38 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hey

I want to change all the interior lights (dash and all the switches) to blue instead of that ugly green. I thought it would just be changeing the bulbs to blule........BUT there is like a plastic coating on the inside of the switches that makes the light comeing through them green!

Are the gauges the same?

And Can i change these lights/film to blue?????

Ben

    Ben,

    Actually, the color is considered "white." It doesn't have the saturation that you see in true green instrument lighting.

    I believe that by using the proper color coating on the bulbs you can correct for the slight tint of the switches to acheive the blue you want. A graphic artist should be able to help you with that.
