Starlet Dash Coulour Change?

[Yaris_Tsport]

help is needed as i have taken my dashboard out of my starlet97 in hope that i can change the bulbs inside it to a different colour. i want blue bulbs instead of green. does anybody know where i can get different coloured bulbs? has anybody else changed there dash colour?i have not actually removed the bulbs yet. do they come out easy or not?

i should have left it if i was u sounds dodgy!

but if it does turn out 2 b easy then tel me how!!!

all i have done is take each layer of the dash off first the black surround off which was held in by two screws then the clear plastic then another black surround then you come to the bulbs. the layers are just cliped in. unpop them and off they come. just gotta find some bulbs? they look the same size has the sidelights so they might be the same

Not sure on a starlet but i'm guessing it's the same, usually it's clear bulbs going through a green filter on the speedo display so you need a speedo display with a blue filter, for my green to blue conversion i only needed 2 blue leds and that was because of the digital milometer. The rest are as original. Costs £50+vat+delivery for the new dials custom made for mine, if yours has it all on one template then it is the same cost, you need to strip the speedo down further to find out or pm starletsy who should know

Starletcraig i have done my dash. it was not that hard but a little bit on the annoying side. the dash bulbs are the same size as are sidelights. all i did was get some clear ones and got some special glass paint and painted them.i have done mine in blue.you can buy the bulbs already done but they cost £9.99 for a pair. i had to take off the petrol and temperature gauge off. the needles pull off then undo four screws. and access it in front of ya. just remember to mark where you pull the needle out from as putting them back in the wrong place results in a lot more swearing :censor: !!!i also done the two bulbs behind the heater controls.

My dash just gotta change the end two bulbs. but ya get the idea

y can do this to reflect more light

[geocool69]

your screwed for the center consol as the lights cant be replaced

they r swithcable leds

that turn from green to red

[Yaris_Tsport]

cheers for that i am gonna have to do the reflecting thing tomorrow. just got to buy to more bulbs. i got some paint for the center bulbs and they do look blue but not a good a the dash.

[geocool69]

got any pics of the dash finnished

[Yaris_Tsport]

i will see what i can do. they do look different but they just look sort of a bluey green??? not to sure what to do. think i am gonna buy some new clear bulb and do them again. Have you changed your dash colour geocool??

[Yaris_Tsport]

all the above is about my center console. my dash just needs two blue bulbs which i have order off eBay. they are the same as are sidelights. think they cost £5.49 for a pair including postage.

[geocool69]

right now im on the market for a glanza v instrument binnacle..i will be doin it then to kill two birds with one stone

[Yaris_Tsport]

does anybody know how hard it is to actually get the binnacle out of the car???is it justa case of pulling the clips from the back of it???because i dont want to take it out and not be able to get it in again..

[geocool69]

are u on about the center consol???

[Yaris_Tsport]

nah i mean the actually dials and that. basically the whole unit behind the steering wheel. cause it a pain taking the dials off in the car behind the wheel. just wanted to make things easier.

Sorry for taking this topic up again, after eight years, but I didn't feel to start a new topic for this! ;)

Just wanted to know which bulbs that are in the instrument cluster. Are they W5W?

I am having plans of changing them to white LED ^_^
