Change dash clock bulbs

Hi can anyone tell me if i can just swop the dash clock bulbs for blue ones, or is there a coating on the clocks that need removing. It's a zaf 1.6L 16v comfort. on a 51 plate.

cheers

I'm suprised no one has answered this question. I've not done it myself but you can buy a blue LED kit from crazy LEDs.

Here's the link https://www.crazyleds.co.uk/product.php?productid=94&cat=39&page=1

says something about some models having orange filters inside LCD displays.


Hope this helps bud!

you can do it ive done it i didnt need the filters tho

theres another thread that bud1970 posted up

thanks guys 4 the replies, I think the best thing to do is bite the bullet and have a look and see whats what, i just didnt want to buy blue bulbs then find out that it had the orange filter on the clocks.

cheers

i put white bulbs in mine bud

heres a pic of mine

Oh well no turning back now as ive just ordered window switches, the lighting switch, and the blues leds for the clocks from https://www.crazyleds.co.uk/product.php?productid=94&cat=39&page=1 from link supplied from dreamvictim.


cheers

mick is a good bloke thats where i get all my stuff from

Here's a problem. how the hell do you actually get the dash loose. My odometer and trip have gone off so I suppose I'll have to replace the unit, must be available on Ebay etc. But how do you get behind the thing to get at the bits?

where abouts are you bud


theres loads of torx screws to undo cant remember where they are tho

I spootted a small removable panel at either end of dash, where door closes over it. But guess there must be loads more and the st.column probably needs dropping too. We don't have these problems on my 1951 Jowett Javelin!!!! - just grovvel on floor and you're under rthe dash! I am in north Leeds just off A61

if you was closer id would of come and helped you out fella


ill have look again where all the screws are today its over a year since i did mine

ok fella there are 7 screws in the dash surround

3 in top of the surround near the clocks 1 on left near the light switch 1 under the fuse cover then there are 2 on the right side of the steering wheel have a feel around under the lip of the dash surround


you will to take out the stereo to mate and undo the ash tray screw is under neath it and then the heater surround should unclip then it all should come out

whats involved in changing the orange displays, is it just a bulb? or orange filters?

If i remember correctly there are a couple of hidden screws. Two are behind the air vents. You can see the one behind the middle air vents above the stereo. You then need to pop out the top part of the air vent on the far right of the dash to get to another. I think there is also one screw behind the headlight switch.

i never removed the headlight switch when i did mine


and they are bulbs barry

I think they vary because i took my dash out last year hoping to change it all to blue but the trip meter and clock display have an orange film across them meaning blue is impossible. Around 2003/4 i think they changed, don't quote me though.
