been there done that, press the search button.

but to help you

THIS ONLY WORKS ON 2001-2003

take everything apart, change the screen in front of the clock to a color of your choice.

For 2004-2006, you have no choice but to change the SMT leds, which are PAINS to remove/replace, so just live with it.

i mentioned something about this in another post. i used BLUE window tint film (3-4 layers). it made it look 99.9999% exact color of the dash lights.

okay, shipped today: Paki, 02xdGLS, and 2loud2k2xd if you dont get it by next tuesday, shoot me a pm and i will rush one out to you at no charge.

shipped tomorrow: godisinthetv
again, shoot me a pm if you dont get it by next wednesday

the reason why i say a week is becuase it normally takes a week for a letter to reach from the college here to my house... and thats about how long it took for my CAI and lights to come in.

It's not glass...it's plastic. You remove the plastic piece completely and replace it with the color of your choice.
