My NEW interior lighting

Well its time for a change I guess. The dash lights are now custom RED done with taillight lens repair tape. Gauges are from an 04 coupe. I only have 3k miles on my car now instead of 40k! Resale value went way up which is cool. Comments? I have a feeling everyone's gonna like the old, but what can you do... also time for a new deck. Maybe alpine cda-9835?

I know this is sorta a noob question, but I was wondering where you got those gauges from, cuz I have an 05 VP, and I want to swap out the gauges but the only place I found them cost around $300. Just wondering if they can be found for cheaper. Thanks for any help.

Ya any auto store should have it. I just cut out pieces and stuck them on the back of the dials instead of the stock ones. It will turn out looking more red and slightly brighter than stock.

Here's the deck I'm thinking about gettin...

Very nice gearbox, The headunit will look sick in there with the red and white matching. I wish they made white face gauges with red number for mine, i like the white though alot, looks really clean and easy to read.

glad to see you got it working. is everything still functional, or did you lose anything by not having the wire you asked me about?

i'm still checking. I need to go over all the lights tonight and make sure its working. I think everything is fine.

I just installed my new alpine deck I got for $200 at best buy And it matches alot better than the expensive one would have. I saw that biolite display and imo it didn't look very white. More like white with some blue mixed in. I'll have pics later.
