How do you change the colour of your speedo lights and does anyone have a website where I can buy the stuff?

you can change the bulbs for somthing like these....

cgi.ebay.co.uk/10-X-CA...3387wt_989

or

cgi.ebay.co.uk/10-Blue...117wt_1139

but the dash has a orange filter so colour looks slightly off imo,


best way i found to change the colour was lockwood dial kit.

Nick180 is doing mine at the moment as you have to solder new SMD LED's on the newer models, older ones are just twist and replace. The ones that NorthantsBen referred to will only work on older models

i fitted xeon white LED's behind the lockwoods to make them bright and crisp.

im 90% sure your 2000 model will be twist bulbs that are easy as pie to change, just need to remove the speedo surround, take out the screws that hold the unit inplace, pull it forward and twist out each bulb and put new one in.

ebay will have them Wink


to fit the lockwood kit you will need to take the speedo apart to fit.

changing just bulbs you just need to change the bulbs as long as yours is twist bulbs.
