instrument illumination

gippa · 18th May 2008, 12:08

i once saw a ZTT like mine in a car park at night and the clocks were all lit blue instead of the merky greyish they currently are on mine.
does anyone know how to change the bulbs/covers or legends to make the illumination blue.
Has anyone else on the forum already undertaken such a task and was it a success??

kind regards

Get a new facelift IPK assembly for a ZT and all will be sorted. The colour was changed in the facelift. Trust me though, keeping the same colour throughout (white / grey) is nicer.

Sorry to disagree, but we don't have the same colour throughout.

I have silvery-grey lit dials, orange in one display section, red-orange in another, various shades of orange or red on switches etc., in fact it is one part of the car that I think looks cheap and nasty. MG/Rover obviously used whatever was left in the parts bin, or whatever was cheapest at the time.
