It works easy - Just unclip the Crystal Display bit and pull out the orange lens and replace with a blue one (I used a $1.50 blue plastic folder from a stationary shop) and replace the backlight with LED or bulb of your choice... as i said in above post i want to change to a blue/violet colour along with trip comp for a bit of a different colour. glad you said about that orange lens..that would have p****d me off when i tryed to change the colour of it  thanks for that! im going to buy the leds for trip n odometer in a couple days so that will get done next week when they arrive off ebay and when i cant be bothered pulling the dash off again...

I'm soooo over pulling the dash surrounds off myself. Sooo so so over it. But, will be doing it again shortly. The air bag computer is still beeping at me and the LEDS behind the climate control buttons have died... Also wouldn't mind doing some fresher graffix for the instrument cluster... And the display for the oxygen sensor should be incorporated into the surround - along with a new cup holder insert from an old Subaru GT. The list just never seems to get shorter. Trying to get my custom stereo surround in and out is not that damn easy either. Ah well... The trip computer LED conversion is easier than doing a climate control, but there's a couple of little tricks that you'll discover. The LED's need to be recessed into the clear plastic to light the buttons up and some other things - Easy enough, just be prepared to use a drill or dremel or something to slightly modify the internal bits - Or make a special clip for your LED's so they can sit proud on the back. How about a DAYTIME shot of you car with the wheels?!!!!!! |

done the odometer and trip computer pinkish purple last night, looks great,
although i broke the trip comp screen so i have to go to pick a part and just pocket one..lol but the odometer looks great with the blue just need to sort out my needles as they dont light up and do my trip comp screen so it displays proper numbers and not just a pinkish/purple glow. will post pics as soon as i can get my hands on a camera as my phone is in for repairs..dam speakers on an n95 8gb..

Cheers well...at first i tryed without it and obviously that didnt work at the light didnt spread out, then i tryed sanding off the orange on the filter and that didnt work...so i just put some reflex super white paper ripped to size in there as i dont have filter paper handy and it came out how i wanted!, i will go and get some actual pink filter paper today or sometime and fix it all up as you can kinda tell its not as smooth as should be.. get filter paper from newagencys and such??
