how do i take the green filter out of my dash clocks

Take the clocks out, remove the filter

[harlemex]

yup. you can literally just pull it out.

Apologies for my earlier, rather useless, post! Hangover with no coffee = bad mood

Remove the clocks by popping out the warning light panel:



Next remove the headlight switch (you have to press the side to release it)



Once unclipped you will see a screw:



Undo the screw and use a screw driver to pop off the little blank on the other side of the wheel:



Once these have been undone you can remove the black plastic surround by giving it a good pull:



Undo the screw on either side and the clocks will pivot forwards:



I have no pictures for the next step, but the filter is located under the white plastic strip along the top of the clocks, there should be 5 clips holding this in. You can either do this with the clocks still in the car, but it's probably easier to reach behind them and unplug them. Once unplugged you can just pull them out. Hope that helps

Just white as standard, but as you can see in those pics I have changed the bulbs to blue LEDs. I also changed the LEDs behind the lcd displays to blue and then to red:





Ignore the massive bright patches in the photos, it does not actually look like that, its just how the pictures came out.

It depends, some clocks are easy, some are hard!

If the back of your clocks look like this then it's easy (the red LEDs light up the lcds):



But if they look like this it is a lot harder and involves a soldering iron and a very steady hand:

They're 509t LEDs and that is all you need. They're twist fit so take seconds to change, in the first pic you can see the 2 red ones for the lcd's and at the top the 2 blue ones for the dials. Later this week i'm going to solder some more bulbs into the top though for brighter dials
