   Altho if your car is a mk1 it won have LED's it will have bulbs which just twist out and twist the new ones back in so you may be better off looking for a guide on how to remove the dials instead of that one ^^^^^

    yes wit hthe filter on the mk1s they have a green one so they use whitbulbs but it shine green so if you used blue it wopuld be more of a purplish colour, wont look good so you can either buy some dials like lockwoods with a clear film and then put some blue bulbs in, or buy blue bulb laquer
    
    or you can just buy te plasma ones, two wires and rest is plug and play really, very easy to install
