you wouldnt change the bulbs, theres a green film that runs under the bulbs making them look green, the bulbs are actually white! you need to change the film to blue 8) do a search and youll find a full colour guide by a japanese dude wiv a very cool looking c

i did this with white gauges and 2 neon tubelights of 10cm each

for the mfa display you have to dismount the unit, and remove the foil, put in a bright blue led in place of the usual light.

 

then you get something like this

here you can see the foil of the mfa display:

replace it with some blue foil

 

and this is the result without the white gauges

theres a long and detailed account with pics on the corrado club of canada's website on how to do this mod. it looks well good. After you see it, and get into your C, you think "oohhh, my cars speedo and surrounding area is well boring and crap!" i really cant wait to get a free weekend to do something with mine.
