Changing dash color 700

posted by  someone claiming to be Asturias Celt on  Sat Apr 27 19:50 CST 2002 [RELATED]

What size bulb(s) goes into the dash of a 91 740? Does any company sell colored ones? (i.e red, green, blue, etc.)

What size of bulb illuminates the dash's electrical switches? (i.e defroster, sunroof)

Please send me any links.

The dash bulbs themselves are #94 and a common bulb used in most dashes, you can get several colors. I have changed mine all to red. Some of the switches use a very small bulb that I could not find colored, for these I purchased some heat resistent colored film used for theater lighting, made small straw shaped covers for each bulb.

I do a lot of night highway driving and I find the red lighting in the dash much easier on the eyes while still making the guages very visible, rather than just dimming the standard grenn/blue color
