Hi welcome to the fiat forum.

I'll have a look on ebay for you tonight, think they were listed as blue dash bulbs can't say that they are all ways there though.
they are not hard to replace but there is a lot of them they just twist out.

you could paint your bulbs with blue nail varnish.

Wont work, the bulbs are white and the dials give the green colour, no matter what colour you put behing them they will be green.

Ok what you need to do is replace the standard dials with white lockwood dials then take out the bulbs behind them and buy a blue light tint, spray the bulbs and then the blue will reflect off the white dials. Dont bother with the dash.

Sensible mods go far
