N E 1 done this
Just wondering if anyone has changed the colour of the gauge cluster lights. I want to buy a deck for my car without spending a whole lotta cash but I want it to match the orange. There isnt much out there unless I drop $500 so I was wondering how hard or how much it would be to make everything light up green or blue instead without actually changing the gauges..... or does anyone have a nice deck that matches our cars that they wanna sell?
Let me know. Thanks

Rep Power: 0 It is pretty hard, ask Civicboy, he did it on his car. There's also a DIY. If you're gonna do it right you'll want to change the gauges, center console, and your windows/mirrors/cruise control/ sunroof.

Rep Power: 0 Your not actually cahnging the bulbs there just clear/white. When you take the gauge off the back of it is actually painted orange. I scrapped all that off with a screwdriver, then layed a blue filter over it. It's a relly strong plastic and you don't have to worry going through it. You could actually use a dremel which would work amazing.
The only problem is there's a pattern on the back to diffuse the light so it's even. I know the soloution to fixing so here's the deal.
I'll help someone do it but you have to let me or you do it scan the backside of the gauges. If we can do this it will be perfect.
