Interior lights

[Collins]

I have got a 1.4RT clio mk1 and i want all my interior lights changed to blue. however when i have tried to do this, i discovered an orange film which cant seem to be removed. Any ideas how to have my whole interior changed to blue? Including all the switches

The switches would be very difficult.

The dials, you can buy different ones which have a clear backing.. depending on your dials, you *might* be able to take the orange away - some you can, some you cant.

The easiest way, and its probably cheating.. but, use Red bulbs instead of Blue?! Wont matter about the orange backing then.. but it wont be Blue..

I tried, and it seemed way too much trouble.

You can buy blue bulbs, but that isnt the problem. The dials/switches all have an orange backing on them so they show up Orange.. using clear bulbs.. Blue bulbs make it this awful greeny/brown colour.. heh.

so basically it is too much hassle to do the lot. but you can change the dials, if you buy blue ones, is that right? do you think that would look crap if i cant change the colour of the clock and heater dials to match? cheers
