replacing lights in console, cluster etc..

[zirophyz]

has anyone replaced lights for the console controls with different colours?

is it possible or do the controls get their colour from the print and have a white light behind them?

if someone has can they post pics of the completed job.

thanks

ok my C230 the bulbs behind the cluster were all white, the prints made the light show up orange. I put red light bulbs in there and it changed to red (NO LEDs) because orange and red are somewhat look similar (unlike orange and blue wouldnt look good)

you can give it a try. ive replaced all my interior lighting to red - the ceiling lights, underdash red glow kit, and since ive put a hi-mount stop light in the back, I didnt have any use for my stock 3rd brake light (also red DUH) so I mountd that into my trunk - so even my trunk has a bright red light!

soon replacing my climte control unit to red (simple change) and getting red puddle lights. illuminated door sils (making those red) and ill see if I can change all the power buttons red.
