    What haven’t I changed?
    How did you get the "MPH" text to show up in a different color from the numbers on the gauge? I really like the look of that effect.

    Anyone done red numbers, blue needles? Or maybe could alter a picture so it looks like it? I'm having a tough time debating doing red numbers or blue numbers.

    So I did mine last year and its been pissing me off with the air controls and around the shifter. So has anyone figured it out? Im gonna go rip my ac out right now and ill keep you guys posted if I find anything. I dont know why I never thought to open it up before. I guess I was just waiting to find a write up.

    Not possible. The orange is imbedded in the plastic on the face. You have to sand it down and then repaint it with the icons. One person tried and it came out crappy. Good luck. Let us know if you get it done.

    I'm doing it! But i'll probably just change the numbers to white and keep the needles red.

    I bought the DIY kit off ebay 8 months ago, but haven't found the gonads to do it. I just don't have that much success with soldering...... :cool:

    Anyone in the Baltimore area that knows how to do this?

    I'll trade up some labor for doing tinted tails, BHLM, blacked out badges, etc. Rattle cans I can do....... :D

    Hit me up with a PM if you're interested.

    Looks good. If I didn't drive a Tacoma, I couldn't tell that wasn't stock (excluding the fact it doesn't match the console). Good job

    How do you change the color of the needles? Are there led's for them also? I have been wanting to do this since I got this truck. Looks great!

    ^ the needles have LEDs as well, the same number as the background for each location. you need to scrape the orange off the back and paint them white as well.

    Looks beautiful! Just to make sure, is it just the picture or are you not able to see the information on the speedometer when you choose white lights?
