ford uses green plastic type stuff that i think is removable and they sometimes use green bulbs best bet is to rip out old dash and look if bulbs are clear green plastic type stuff if green then they are green. now if they are clear then gettin the green plastic stuff off is rather difficult due to the fact that it is stuck on there with some clear adhesive most of the time and is in hard to reach places.

On my F-150 (99) the stock gauge overlay had a green plastic-like film glued on behind all the numbers. I have seen people who somehow removed that film, i'm not sure how but it's possible.

Once you get that off you can replace all your stock conventional lightbulbs with wide angle LED bulbs for an intense blue color :cool:

Make sure you get the wide angle LED's if that is the route you take, that way the lighting is uniform and not bright/dim in some spots ;)

I've had good luck with these bulbs, hi quality stuff: www.superbrightleds.com

Just find the stock bulb number and order the same number LED bulb
