75subie Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 AWESOME! i had that style lights in my old mazda p/u, and i always thought that was so much cooler than the usual white or green lit dash's:headbang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry DeMoss Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I am going to do that too!I was originally going to use blue,but red is alot easier on the eyes at night.Please tell us what you used?Red paint or is it colored bulbs?Did you use bulbs or L.E.D.'s ?

jonas Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 i used clear bulbs and a red magic marker. since i had to replace some burned out lights anyway i fingered i would try it out. i'm gonna do my dome and glove box lights too. if you have the amber lights don't worry about marking the yellow plastic with the red marker. it comes out fine. i also suggest replacing ALL the bulbs since you will have the dash cracked open anyways. those old bulbs are suprisingly brittle....

Tosh Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 is there any way to change the color on the digital clusters ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkankinPickle Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 on the digital ones there is a tinted peice of clear plastic which makes all the electronics that don't light up inside the dash invisible from the driver's perspective. Maybe you could just take the front part off and cut a big piece of colored transparency and place it on top to chance the color as it goes through it...

joostvdw Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 if you do so, you'll lose all the marks, letters and everything else, except what lights up, not very handy plus that when your dash is originally red, putting a blue piece of plastic in front of it, won't make it blue, but more....uhm.... maroon I guess? anyway, ugly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonfire Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 i have red bulbs i got from advance auto. 4 bucks for 4 lights. the 194. i now have inverted tip blue led. got those from pep boys. the only thing i do not like about the blue, is that the needles do not show up as well. hhhmmm. how to fix that? :-\ cool dash lights man.
