[1quk50]

ok, so im know this has probley been on here be for but i was wanting my gauge cluster to be red... how do i go about doing this?

is it the bulbs or the face cover?

 

[94 DropTop]

you have to sand the green off the back of the guage cluster and put in red bulbs

 

[1quk50]

and how do you go about getting the green off? got any pictures? or a write up or something?

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

wow I might have to do that lol

 

[1quk50]

BUMP, do you have to sand from behind??? and how do you get it apart with out tearing up your face plate thingy

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

Can you do this to get white lights on your gauges?

 

[Matt94GT]

id imagine just use white bulbs instead of red.

 

[duh09]

Just for the record, the tint is actually blue. That's why when you put the white LEDs in, you get blue.


Just throwing that out there.

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

But if I sand off the tint i can get white lights right, I dont want a white face gauge cluster I just want the white lights.

 

[duh09]

Yea, I suppose you could. But I don't know, I'm just going off waht he said. I just threw the LEDs in it for the blue look.

 

[1quk50]

well mine are green and i hate it!

Well your lights are green because the film behind the cluster is blue and the stock bulbs are yellowish. BLUE & YELLOW = GREEN. Just peel/scrape off the green film, then pick any color bulb and that's the color your cluster with have.

what Sean said. I made a write up on swapping bulbs in our clusters on the site. I didn't go into sanding off the blue film behind the cluster but you could use the write up if you wanted.

does anyone know where i can get sapphire blue bulbs at hahaha j.k

but i would like to do this probably have to get a dark/deep purple bulb

 

[1quk50]

i have white faced guages...

 

[duh09]

So? That shouldn't make any diffrence. Just sand the tint off.

 

[94 DropTop]

just take a butter knife and slowly peal the old face off. Just make sure you get your needles back in the right spot. i sanded it with the pocket knife i had.lol just use sand paper though.
