:idea: got an idea the other day- i really like red instrument lighting. :idea: I don't mean backlit white dials, i mean the sort of thing standard on modern BMW's and bigger Pugs. Does anybody know anywhere that does red bulbs for the R to replace the standard white ones?
I thought about painting them, but my mate tried that in his Civ and they came out pink- i'm thinking i might get away with it on the R tho, cos the bits that let the light thru from the back aren't tinted pale blue or anything, they're just clear... managed to get my rear demister light button red by sheer chance cos i found a red bulb somewhere that fitted (from a 1.4 Sunny!) but think it was a one off- unless anyone knows differently...
Also, as my suspension shook my stereo to bits on the way to Trax, i was wondering if anyone has seen a stereo that fits these stipulations:
Red buttons/ display- (to match my intended instruments)
Plain black front (without the silver max power looks)
Cd player
Any help/opinions would be much appreiciated
Cheers.
