Sorted!
took all the blue Halfords bulb paint off by using after shave,
re coverd the Glass part of the Mfd with dark blue Insulation tape 10p a roll,

put them back to gether and back in the car they look perfec,
a nice subltle Aqua blue glow much better than the tango colour,

ive just got the rest of them to do now,

all as gone back to orange Now!
the Climate control colour cannot be changed,

they dont have ordinary bulbs there on little Smds and there orange and the paint doesnt come off them,
speedo clocks are the same there on smds so it wouid involve alot of soldering to change the colour of them its just not worth it,

Know this may saound daft, but would it not be possible to put some very carefully & precisely cut blue film over the displays? Not too sure about the instrument cluster though. To be honest though, it's probably just as well because if you'd managed to get those done, your attention would then be drawn to the orange glow on the window switches too...

Tbh mate ive tried putting film over the displays the Mfd looks perfect,
The problem is the climate control screen if its coverd with blue film it displays Green and its very dim,
the screen on the Climate control sits on Legs not a Ribbon and is Awkward to get behind it, they have very tiny smd bulbs solderd onto the board which are Bright orange,

the only way round this is to un solder all the bulbs and add all new white ones its an awkward job and couid result in many climate control screens getting destroyed to get it right .. its not worth it

I was thinking more along the lines of putting the film on the outside of the MFD & climate.

it dosent work mate,
if its on the outside it just dulls it off and it looks crap,
the film /tape as to be behind the Glass on the mfd ive tried it all ways,
the mfd is not a problem its the Climate control it is been desighned to Glow orange it as orange bulbs and film,
