Is it possible to change the colour of the interior instrument and heater control lighting from green to red? I have seen some talk of Mazda using green “condoms” over white bulbs to give the instrument lighting its colour. If this is true, can I get red “condoms” as replacements or is it more complicated than that? I have seen blue LED conversions but I don’t like that colour scheme and don’t really want to play with soldering irons, etc.

I changed my green instruments to orange by changing the bulb caps. The problem is finding the caps small enough for some of the bulbs in the switches. I did end up painting one or 2 of them. The other problem I came across was the speedo & the heater control. These 2 units use clear bulbs but have green paint on the back of the faces. Putting an orange cover on the buld behind the green face seriously reduced the brightness of these instruments.
It would have helped if I’d spent longer in the FAQ section - I now know about the red LED kit offered by aceparts. Ordered!
Or buy a MK2.5
