Default Interior face plate?

I was wondering, has anyone ever changed the green lights that display your miles and light up your rpms and such?

I would like to change it to red any information on doing this?

if the gauge's aren't green themselves, i'd imagine ya could just replace the bulbs with red ones, i know it's a pita to get the cluster out, lots of screws...

Yeh man but thanks to AM.com they have instructions on how to remove it.. I think I'll take it out 2morow and see if I can buy bulbs at pep boys for it.

Dome light is red wanted it to match


black car, black leather interior, red calipers, red dome light, red gauges should look nice

Blah, well i found a website that does custom plates and they have white with red lights but its 100$ don't know if I want to spend that kind of money on gauges.

Little update for those who want to do the same:

I got my red lights for the gauges.. as we speak I'm sanding off the green tint paint on the back of the gauges its coming out clear now so the red should really shine through.

Getting the gauge sheet off the plastic piece was kind of a challenge as its glued and you don't want to rip the sheet at all (I tore a tiny slit).

I'll post a picture when I'm finished.

Pic attached(The Battery gauge is obviously the one that I sanded):
