I had it made for Stu's 200th birthday.

Think the chap who made it moved abroad, not seen anything of him for several years.

I tried coloured bulbs and they didnt work for some reason. I think it was due to the colour of the windows. Really cant remember now. I am over 200 years old you know.LOL

Done it on my RSV using t5 capless LED bulbs and a blue frosty Jacks cider bottle plastic.
If you just put any coloured bulb in it will still light up orange as there are thick orange folter screens behing the LED screens.
I did mine 1 x blue screen& 1 Orange screem looks neat.
In thoery you should be able to make ur screen s all different coulours just get colured led t5 bulbs the find couloured plastic drinks bottle to match, I reckon you should be able to do blue, green, purple & red at the very least!!Smile
IF IT AIN'T BROKE MOD IT ANYWAY!!!!!

Tried the led capless bulbs today big too big and the light was not all over or only lit a bit of the screen .the original bulbs have a rubber orange cover , I took these off and put on some blue ones I took off some spare bulbs still orange display next thing is to get some blue filter to put on the led screen and some White led bulbs

Believe me I tried all these options if you put a filter in and use a clear bulb it does not accentuate the colour hence the reason to use the coloured led bulbs...................thats why the oe bulb has an orange sock on it LOL
 
Ok bud I tried all the options........and to get what you are wanting u will require a filter/film of your desired coulour and a bulb either coloured led or a normal clear bulb with a the correct coloured sock on it or it will not work beleive me m8 I have tried them all............. I will get you a link for the right led bulbs if u want or  pm me as I have 6 blue led t5 bulbs still that I havn't used...............

They came from hong kong .....I recall they were only a couple o quid posted, so cheap enough but they do need slight modding to fit in the back of the clocks but its real simple ..... they all come from far eaest these day then just get repackaged and then double/trple in resale value LOL
 
Here u go this the finished reult using frosty jackscider bottle and blue t5 led's same fitment as original bulbs!!

Don't drink it though.....it tastes like sh*te and you'll end up making a right mess of ur clocks while anebriated on this poison, pour the liquid into another bottle and give it to the proffesionals, the local wino's sure will appreciate it LOL Wink
