   dont hold me to this, but with a mk1 im SURE its jst bulbs behind the dash NOT LED's
   
   So you would follow the guide which has been posted but you wil be lucky enough to just have to swap bulbs over and not solder LED's!
   
   Should be able to find out what kind of bulbs they are from citroen then start loking for the same type but in blue.....
   
   Dont hold me to that though mate, but im 95% sure lol

   Karl could be right, unsure if some of the mk1s had the leds behind
   
   if your dash clocks are white you can, if they are black/blue i dont think you can

    have you ordered the little tiny square LEDS? if so your going to in for a suprise my friend the mrk1 is BULBS not LEDS,
    
    also changing the colour of the bulbs just looks shite im afraid because the colour filter is green!
    
    so you will have to buy another facia for you dials with the BLUE filter in it.
    
    NOT blue bulbs.
    
    hope this has helped fella i know its a twat i did exactly the same!!
