I have tried the search function but had no luck.
Is it easy to change the light colour in the cluster? Has anyone got pics with Blue lights? Thankyou

The most common way is to change the fascia of the cluster. Yours is blue (XR), and T-Series ones are white, they also light up blue. You can get 'em from Ebay and put them in yourself.
I've got a genuine TE50 cluster in the ute (which is what the fascias are a copy of), and the blue looks great. I'll try and post a pic of it at night.

Im happy with the blue fascia. Was just wondering if the colour of the lights could be changed?

I'd say yes, Im not sure what size the globes are in the cluster, but depending on that, you can get LED's that are already made up, and are desigend to be a straight replacement for the normal globes. Failing that, you could get the sleeves that Narva make and just put them over the globes to change the colours, the downside with them though is that they do make the lights darker.

JC modified mine for me and installed Blue LED's. I have the standard blue fascia. Looks great. Only thing I am uncomfortable with is the needles don't show up enough at night. But if I can keep the car under Mach 1, then I'm ok.
If you want pics, I am happy to show you. Steve I think had his done by JC as well. |

Go to the Narva website. There you can find a listing for the LED's to replace the existing bulbs that will fit your cluster, write down the catalogue number then go to Autobarn etc and order them.

No probs. Not sure of you can tell from the pics, but the LED"s also show as blue dots from behind the fascia. Just something to be aware off. Doesn't worry me as I'm use to it

I also tried the blue leds from autobarn. Looked great, but as stated earlier, you can't see the needle. So I now have a mixture of the blue leds and the white lights. Mix this with all the other colours on the dash and it has a nice effect. Best thing is I can now see the needle.
