Re: changing dash colour!!
on a 120 series this would be hard.
the instrument lights are LED's. maybe blue tint on rear of fascia, but fascia is delicate.
as for the other factory switches, it is possible as most have green condoms over globes.
but not sure if you can buy blue globe condoms[url=http://www.fuelly.com/driver/damonat/prado][img]http://www.fuelly.com/smallsig-metric/50578.png[/img][/url]

Re: Changing dash light colour!!
good luck.
your wasting your time as the LEDs are about 5mm square and raise about 2mm.
so no coloured condom will fit as they are for round globes.
check this topic.
i have pics
