Changing gauge lights, just need some quick advice

[Libila]

I am going to change my interior lighting but I want to do my speedo/tach area too. I would like to keep the stock black gauges but redo the light color. Now I know there is an orange film on the numbers and I have heard you can sand the orange off, is this true? What would be the effects of just removing the film period? And what about the needle? Can I change the color of that just by replacing a bulb or should I buy some replacements? I would like to do blue lighting because my car is blue, with red needles. Sorry if this is a noob question but I have never torn my gauges apart.

Give Boostineklipz a holla. He specializes in the whole blue light deal.

Well what about just shaving that orange film? Will I tear that film straight off?

use sand paper to shave it off

the needles are clear, and the orange film is on the back of them. You can probly strip the film and paint them blue...
