Has anyone ever changed the colour of there dash globes in there vl? from green to a different colour ??

the globes arent green..... its the color of the dash face..... shows up green..... if you put different color globes in its just going to mix the colors......

ive changed the wiper controls and the demister control lights to red, my aftermarket gauges are backlite in red also, looks pretty cool well i think so :P to change the colour of the dash ones i think you need to get a new dash face made up. Ive tryed changing them to red also but they showed up green :?

How hard is it to change the globes in the dash? And what kind of globes do they use? My power light doesn't come on any more, not that i need it. But i miss it! and it pisses me off that it should work and doesn't.

yer the dash face is green! and the globes are clear i no! but ive seen a vl and his whole dash was a diff colour jus wondering if any1 has changed them b4 susessfully? if so how did they do it?

You can buy silicon sleeves from Autobarn and other places the brand name is Narva and I have seen blue, red, green and yellow coloured silicon sleeves that come in various sizes to fit all the different types of globes - "basically a condom for globes" and best of all the silicon does not melt or fade with the heat of the globe. Try it out but not to sure if it will work on a VL as the dash face is green.

yer thats what i bought silicon sleeves dash face its self is still green :\

The actual plastic that the dash face it printed onto is green so no matter what color condoms you put on it will still light up a greeny color

Yeah its got this lumenscent (SP?) film in there which is green therfore to change dash color your would need to buy more of this film, only problem is that its pretty expensive. The dikhead i bought the car off tried to put blue globes in the dash, no wonder its looked to dim!! i juz replaced it with the clear ones and no probs yet! in the meatime im still searching for that lumenscent film -Jase Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Just a thought that might work for yall is to not put in globes behind the dash but buy those blue Type SS lights that plug into the ciggy lighter and then mount the 2 Led's either side of the dash. Lights it up pretty well, but depends really. I seen it on a VH and a VS and the VS ones were BRIGHT as and you can see it out side the car in the dark with yours and there tinted windows. I tried doing it so that you didnt need to have it PLUGGED in but in behind the ciggy lighter but it didnt work. There 20bux too. Looks good but might get pulled up by the police cos anything glowing red or blue in the car resembles cops there for can get told to take them out.

There is some stuff you can get called Elecrolumenesant Sheets that are basicly sheels of plastic that light up when power is applied to them (do a search on the net) if seen dashs that have been made from this and just an Overhead tansperency on top and they look great
