Styling Dashboard LEDs
yeah i know it sounds crappy, but basically the DIALS would be the only thing that would be blue, would look better than the green imho.
I'll do the LEDS first though and see, green and red might look awesome, but im just running over some ideas in my head.

Right then
Have decided to go with either red or purple for the switch lights (probably red as easier to find) and leave the dials green. (for now)
But I want to know the sizes etc that I'm going to need to buy.
This information IS on the board but is spread around and I'm really busy at work and don't have the time to search around the boards trying to find the correct bulb sizes etc.
Therefore if anyone can tell me the bulb sizes etc for the following i'd really appreciate it, thanks.
I Would Like to change and need to know the sizes/bulb type....
============================
Switches -change to red - 2.5v 3mm LEDS AFAIK
Interior lights (UV OR RED But what size?)
CLOCK LIGHT-change to red- (removes green backing, then replace bulb, which bulb?)
Heater Controls -red (changing the colour to red but going to be a lot of work by the looks of it, which bulbs?)
Window switches -red (different bulb to the normal switches?)
Headlight switch -not touching for now as soldering is not my strong point
Thanks again, and sorry if it seems lazy but I cant find the answer to my questions, and certainly not all in one post

I think the headlight bulb switch is size 501 not sure about the others, luckily on the mondeo it is a straight swap - one in one out, no need for any soldering
Thanks everyone
After reading the linked posts I have ordered red leds for the top switches but can't find out the best bulbs to get for the window switches.
I want RED Leds/bulbs in them but have no idea as to what size.
I THINK that I need 286 type bulbs, however these need filing down, what are the best (preferably no mod required) bulbs to get? (a link would be fantastic)
Just want RED in them, I take it the clock is the same bulb...but i think (as far as my useless mind works) that there is a normal coloured bulb and just a sheet of coloured plastic over the clock, change this to red plastic and im laughing.
