I want to change the instrument cluster bulbs to blue I no the wank orange tinted plastic has to come out but what type of bulb is used ?? And im guessing theyll be available in blue??

Im changing the mirror lights and footwell lights to blue and thought the clocks goin blue would also be a nice touch.

was also thinking of full black leather interior but now more swaying towards the half black leather with blue fabric centre to continue the blue theme.

I changed my oil temp and clock to leds instead, just attached the pre-wired leds to the existing wiring for the gauges, then poked the led's through the holes and fixed them in place, looks awesome at night as they both illuminate in red now.
