Take the ipk apart and solder some 90 degree leds onto the board.

I would buy a used R75 ipk and use the LEDs from it.

Can you solder and desolder? A hot air unit makes the job easier.

Good Luck.

No, if you're using your current one - I'd converted a new one from white to amber.

I know it sounds a bit bodgy , but to go from white to some other colour
has anyone tried some coloured filter material over the LEDs,

Get those quality street wrappers out ??

Behind the dial cards there are diffusers which direct the output from the led's - I reckon your suggestion could be possible with experimentation
