Since the installation of my '4-pack' MK3 Maestro (MK2 Montego) instrument unit in my 1989 Maestro (much prefer the red/white over the yellow), I've wanted to change the rest of the dashboard illumination from green to amber, to match. I believe Simon H has done this before...
Now, the rear window heater and rear fog light switches are orange because I simply swapped their bulbs, as they used to be green when 'off' and amber when 'on'. Same goes for the rear w/wipe buttons to the right, under the Coins tray - the green bulb had actually expired, but they are now orange - and don't change colour when operated.
The next items are the heater/blower control panels... I've had it off (so to speak) and I require a twist-fitment bulb (picture 1) and a standard bulb (picture 2), both in orange, to convert.
*places bets now on someone saying there are no twist-fitment orange bulbs*
For completion, the clock will need changing (somehow - the bulb is clear and the lens is green!). Same goes for the radio panel illumination which faces downwards. This'll be the not-so-simple part I imagine!
So, what I am looking for, is a whopping great selection of orange bulbs and/or caps - I'll probably need one or two green ones also...
Can anyone help with the supply thereof - and advise as to the latter modifications..?
