Changing The Speedo And Other Bulbs Differant Colour

im in the process of purchasing some bulbs to change the colour of the interier bulbs from green to blue. like the last photo from this site http://www.fordwiki.co.uk/index.php?title=Replacement_Dials_-_How_to_fit_to_Mondeo_Mk3

ive got the 'how to' for the speedo and brought the bulbs: 'New 10 lots T5 286 1.2w Blue Dashboard LED wedge bulbs' and '10 T1O 501 W5W Blue LED Side Wedge Light Bulb Lamp 12V' (title of the bulbs i brought through ebay) 1st off are these the correct bulbs (i done abit of reasurch and i belive these are but just wanted to check)

other than rthat the speedo doesnt consern me, its the electric window buttons, the heater controls, clock, etc etc that i need advice on. 1st off what do i need? i removed the headlight switch and dismantled abit to just about see about 7ish green leds. do i buy blue leds and need to 'un solder' the old led's then re-solder the new ones??

also im not a novice but i havnt looked how to remove the window buttons or the clock etc. is there anything im going to need to know before i dive in?? cheers lee

in my personal experiance of changing my focus from green to blue. in my window controls i had 3mm LEDs, which were unsolder and solder new ones in. headlight controls were the same, unsolder and solder.

however the heater controls were SMD LEDs, which are a little more difficult to normal leds to solder. as for the clock screen it wouldnt surprise me if that uses SMD leds aswell and a plastic filter (which can be removed carefully)

a top tip: take all the stuff apart first and check to see if the face where the light shines through is white. any other colour, check for a removable filter. if not then dont do it...i had this problem in a peugeot 307, i done everything blue, got to the manual heater controls and the plastic is molded orange, so the light comes through green!

i hope this makes sense.
