So recently I've been changing the colour of the bulbs in my MR2 centre console/heater controls and dash. Some of those i have replaced with LEDs but some which were a little more difficult or i didn't have an LED for i found a neat little trick which works surprisingly well!

Indecently that's what the white dial installation guide from Lockwood said to do to change the colour of the needles on an MR2 dash.

Hehe yeah its a bit of a cheat and doesn't look as good as LEDs but looks much better than having half green half red controls.

So your tuckin 15's, that's cute but come back to me when you get some proper size wheels
First, my dial which are LED and my lighter ring which is just coloured red, not a bad match really.

Secondly (again I apologise for poor quality) but the light adjustment is also a colouring in job.
