    1988 300zx how to change analogue instrument cluster lights?

    I want to change out the old orange lights to UV LEDs or something similar and was wondering what type of bulbs are they so I can replace them if it's possible. If there's already a thread on this my apologies.

    Bonus points if you could recommend plastic friendly UV paint for the gauge needles.

    There's a thread in the how to section to convert to LEDs. Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but aren't UV LED's outside of the visible spectrum?

      Sorry then I'll look for the thread and I'm not sure about spectrums and what not but I think I confused black light leds with UV because I built a black light display case with black light leds for some fluorescent figurines and they glow just fine.
