i used these on top

running 9v as std supply (crap picture sorry) clicky here

thats on std gti silver dials from top with red strip removed but same bulbs in back of lcd screens but wanted em to stay orange in mine

about 95% i reckon with the silver (white be better) so im altering mine to 12v (dimmer bypass) if you want details let me know ill pass em on after

you can buy blue bulbs from the dealers, the actual dash clocks come apart easily enough theres plenty of little black screws once you get the main casing off, there is orange filters behind the lcd parts which can be removed , its not as effective as having two leds cut into the outer plastics on the dashboard tho as the internal ones have a lot of refraction to get to the outer bits.

The speedo, the rev counter, fuel and temp guage are all lit from the front with one or two leds with an tinted red filter, all you really need to get is something in the right colour thats tinted.

The white light will shine through and project the new colour.
