Is it a hard job to change the colour of the lighting on the interior instrument bits? e.g. the lights on the buttons, the dash gauges colour etc.

there is a diy on this mate, if you search for it.

there are ways to do it.

i did it on my old car, just when you do the dials, there is a type of glue that stops the leds you may install from shining thru. you will have to remove this with paint stripper i think i used, cant remember.

make sure to do it evenly tho, as you will then have more light shining thru in some areas.

you can either use different coloured sleeves, or leds. that is for the dash cluster.

as for the rest, i havent attempted to change.

i find they dont work as effective.
if you do use leds tho, get ones that spread the light evenly

yeah try autobarn, ive never had to figure out what places does that kind of work.
probably auto electricians as well.
if you feel more comfortable getting someone else to do it. do it mate! :thumbsup:
