The numbers in the lcds are grey not blue. I want the numbers to be a different colour.

First the display leds need changing then you need polarising film over them which reverses the black and colour. I was going to do them on mine before I decided to change car.

I had a bookmark for the film somewhere..

oh great. Were can i get hold of the lcd? I take it as they are the old type mk3 clocks?

Old clocks have 509T twist out bulbs behind the LCD so you should be able to just change the colour that way where as later clocks need fully stripping down and new LEDs soldering in like the link above shows.
I would imagine changing the film is the same procedure on both types though but don't quaote me on it as I;ve one ever tinkered with late clocks.

The clocks i have are the 96 so what your saying is i have to take the lcd out from an old unit?? They leds behind the new clocks are blue (i think)

cant i fit the lcds from a mk4?

Thai, do i need to change my lcds or just buy that film and bobs your uncle? The lcd leds have been changed to blue already.
