   how comes plasma dials always seem to light up blue? shouldnt they be green as with the standard dials or do u have to change something else too?

   which plasmas did you buy??
   
   you get a controlbox with them usually which has a dimmer knob and switch for either green/blue

   i havent bought any yet mate but have been looking into it as i love the look, but every set i see are lit up blue. I just thought that just by swapping the dials over, it is not possible, without changing something else (making it more complicated to fit), to get the blue.

   other way depending on if there leds is to change them on the circuit board, really fiddly, stevenet15 did a guide, ive done a feww now and does get easier, well for me it is
   
   plasma dials two wires and rest is plug and play, very easy
   
   i do have pictures of mine in green and blue, do a search, think the titles called fitted these today
