View Full Version : Changing colour of bulbs behind standard air-con/fan dials

My TJ VRX has the white-faced speedo/tacho with the numerals that light up red at night, but my (non climate-control) air-con & fan dials still light up in the standard light green colour.

I was just wondering if it was possible, and the degree of difficulty, to replace the bulbs for the air position rotary dial, fan speed selector, vent, and temperature rotary dial. How many bulbs are there in total, and what is involved in accessing the bulbs and replacing them? Can you get these bulbs in other colours just from a shop like Super Cheap or so?

I've already got a new head unit that has red backlighting, which matches the speedo & tacho, especially at night when everything is lit up. It's just the air-con & fan switches, which are still green, that look a little out of place!

Any advice and tips are much appreciated - Thanks very much
Justin

I just bought a set of Blue ones - you might want to email him about some RED ones as they are pictured but not listed just at the moment.
