You mean just in the instrument cluster (speedometer etc.) or the whole dash... like the heater and A/C control?
Change dashboard bulbs?
Does anyone know what kind of work I'm looking at if I want to change all the dashboard lights in my '94 Corolla DX to orange? I love that look and I can't stand the basic "white" color it has now.

Just the instrument panel.
Nice, that doesn't sound so bad. I'm gonna give it a try probably this weekend. Thanks!!

if you're a cheapo (like i am), you can just add a few layers of orange colored celophane to where the 3 main peanut bulbs are (just make sure the cellophane doesn't touch the bulbs)... and you get something like this...

ill try to take a pic of the bulb... but there are three of them that need to be replaced. the blubs are the size of peanuts. i'm not sure if the "Reybrig" brand is available in your area.

I swapped in a cluster with a tachometer recently, but I didn't feel like taking it out of the car so I looked at the my old cluster that was lying in my room (the one with no tach).
Now this one has 4 peanut bulbs:

But when I take one out...

Surprise! It's already blue. All the peanut bulbs in the cluster without the tach are blue. I am also 100% sure that the bulbs in the cluster currently in my car are blue also. Now here's the weird part. The old cluster never shone blue, and neither does the one I recently swapped in. They both shine white like so:

What in the world is going on here?!

ey! that's what the bulb look like.
yup, the blue thing is just a "condom"... you can actually remove it to make the gauge cluster a bit brighter. you'd still need a real blue bulb to get the blue colored effect.

Yea, I'm curious where I can get them too. I emailed a couple of places and they said they don't stock anything like that and they cannot currently recommend anyone.
more like, push twist and pull.
