Is this possible?

I was just thinking about it tonight...but you know how our inside/interior lights (odometer, radio, A/C) are a yellowish/green...Can that be changed to another color, like blue (like how VW's lights are)??

I think the VW interior lights look so cool in that color at night. What do you guys say?

hey,

although the odometer and instrument cluster lenses may be greenish, or grayish in the case of avantgarde models, you can always replace the bulbs with bulbs of different colours. It should give you cool effects when installed.

This actually reminds me of a friends CLK320 SPOR. This model got discontinued in 2000 and replaced with the avantgarde. The sport was a fantastic CLK model, it came in carbon fibre interior trims, and the instruments cluster was in ivory and lights and needles in bright red!

stunning!

I like the instruemnt cluster in the CL and S class. The bright white odomoter readings are beautiful. So it is possible to get a different bulb and it should look as good???? Or is the odomoter screens actually painted also?
