    If you figure this one out I will be one of the first to give it a shot, that looks sick!

    I understand that you can change the LEDs in the gauge cluster and radio, but how did they change the clock color?

    I will try this out. I have the LEDs for my gauges and will have a few left over. I have an aftermarket head unit that is blue and red, so I am thinking if I can get blue gauges with red needles, then change the clock to blue it will come together nicely

    I just posted a write up for it!


    The clock isn't easy! The lens is painted that color and it is really hard to remove the orange color.:mad:

    I think the only way to change the clock is to buy a new LCD.

    No! The clock it self isn't red. It's the plastic lens that is red.
