instrument lights

[paroyboy]

Might be a dumb question and its not really that important but....is it possible to change the speedo/tach/clock lighting color? I really liked the red lights my Guzzi had. Found the part numbers for the bulbs but it doesnt say what type they are to crossmatch. ideas?

I changed one of the bulbs on my R1150GS and I expect that the R1150R bulbs are the same. They are small !2V 1.2W T-5mm bulbs. They are a fairly standard bulb for instruments. I don;t know if thay are available in colour.
Take a look here: http://www.narva.com.au/Globes_5.html
The link displays LED bulbs in blue, red, white and green. If the size of the bulb is the same as the GS (T-5mm), the top section shows these.

If you are successful in doing this, let us know. I am interested. My Audi has red instrument lights, and it is better for night time vision because it is less distracting.

The old trick used to be to paint a clear bulb with red nail polish. Should still work.
