    Yes.
    Were these originally all orange? If so, can you point me at whatever link covers a "how-to"

    I'm guessing this is just LEDs replacing original bulbs, but I could easily be wrong.
    Thanks!

    They dials are amber/orange and the needles are red.

    LED swap:
    http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/6...-orange-red-yuck-how-change-gauge-colors.html

    I replaced the stock amber+red leds with the oznium plcc-2 smd leds. I also removed the paint on the needles and painted the back of the needle white.
    I used white leds on the dials and blue leds for the needles.

    Thanks. I am really happy with how it turned out.

    It was a lot easier than I thought too. Next up I am going to do the steering wheel controls and clock.

    Had it, took it off cause it was so rough. Got used OMEs in the front now. . still have the rear AAL and shock, but I want to remove those soon. The AAL didn't fit well, it was too wide, and its completely rusted after just a year.
    Good for a quick lift, but you're better off paying the slight extra for a better lift.
    My two cents

    Today I actually worked on the wife's car, which is a G6. Bought wiperblades to find out newer GM cars don't use standard wiperblade attachments, so I had to exchange them for more expensive ones (Trico NeoFlex). I also replaced the headlamp bulbs, which being GM, means removing the whole housing without breaking any of the brittle plastic they like to use.

    Put my new husky x-act liners in today. I'm impressed with the quality and fitment!
