Lightbulb Interior lighting

Hey guys I changed my interior light color tonight to match the needles on the gauges. Sorry for the bad picture quality, I tried.

I used taillight tint and replaced the amber pieces with red on all the interior buttons including the ones inside the OEM 6 disc

Let me know what you think

no idea... didnt try, it matched mine pretty well without messing with the cluster. I have an 05 so my car comes stock with the bad *** cluster with red needles so I have no reason to mess with mine

Re: Interior lighting

ive done it with the older style clusters (01-02 non LED), you do have to remove the painted color on the back of the gauge face first with acetone, then evenly stick the red tape down. two layers is best for a dark red color very similar to stock evo gauges.
