Color of dash lights

Has any one changed the color and if so what kind of bulbs did you use. The radio and the gauges I have are blue and the factory lights are green. It bothers the sh** out of me. Thanks

I wondered about that, for the same reason. I have seen blue bulbs on eBay. Looking at the cluster the plastic is green which is where the green colour comes from, so you would have a blue filtered bulb through a green filter.

When I pulled my 94 apart it had green covers on the bulb same as the shifter light. I looked into it at the parts store and they did not show any colors. There has to be a way.

Its a very light tint on mine so I expect that the blue bulbs would still show blue. I spent ages looking for a radio that was black to match the dash and had a green display to match the clock directly above it. I got one that was selectable orange/green - then I couldn't get it to change to green. A short time ago i found the box - and the erratta that was still inside it!
