I believe the dash light are all white. At night the speedo does change color. I believe it starts green, goes to amber around 35 mph and red above 50 mph.

Many thanks for getting back to me. What my speedometer is doing, it starts off green, and then goes to white, after about 10 miles an hour. So what do I need to correct this problem? Thanks Stu.

There is a 'color band' behind the moving part of the speedometer. In my '39 Chrysler book it is part #694577 for C22, 697399 for C23 & C24 and 697400 for the limo.

Your 'color band' may just be too dirty for the light get through or may need to be repainted or replaced.

Good Luck
