i am happy with the climate control display as it is.(it might be hard to see but it is red) the filter can not be removed without un-soldering the display, so i am not to keen on doing that. just to make it blue. yeah the clock light is a , the light takes a different type of bulb so i manufacturing one up.

looking good, you've inspired me to pull my finger out and convert the rest of my dash and gear indicators to match the cluster.
What has it set you back so far? I've heard some people using a blue plastic folder to replace the inserts... Did you just use the white paper over the existing orange ones? |

Looking good Cheeza!
Has anyone tried this on the digi EB dash? Is it the same as doing the odometer on the pics shown?

Top effort mate, looks great.
For anyone doing it though, these bulbs (from the same supplier who I also highly recommend) are generally regarded as the best all rounders. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2pcs-...9519QQtcZphoto Cheers! |

i used a set of 3-d glasses,and cut up the blue lens for the odometer and the red lens lens for the trip computor,but your glowing blue needles on the cluster looks great!!
Oh well,that's something else for "To Do" list Good on yer! |

it really not that hard, there is a tutorial on ford mods, i will try and find it. the difference to the tutorial is that you can get LED with resistors all ready in them, so it makes it super easy, no soldering or anything!
