I'll change them when I do get stopped  Coppers are pretty relaxed over here unless you drive like a tool.

I've had blue sidelights in for about 2 years now. I've just recently upgraded them. I want to change the rear lights. I quite like the look of the M3 ones.

They're what I bought. The colour isn't changed with the bulbs, it's the film that is on the dials themselves. So the original dials have an orange film, the lockwoods have blue.
But, the original backlight bulbs are yellowy. So to make the dials bluer I put super bright white LED's in. So it now looks like this:

My original dials were black too. The lookwoods are white.

Well, yeah. The dials have a coloured film on them that make them that colour. So changing to different ones with a different colour film will change the colour of the numbers. I already linked you where I got them from.... It's not difficult, just fiddly.

No, no point getting blue bulbs. They won't be very bright. I don't have any blue back lighting.

By getting super bright white LED's it makes the blue more vibrant.
