Ok, now I'm done trying this mod I saw on here. It's making the little mileage thingy blue. Only thing is, it's bright and sunny so I can't even tell how it came out until tonight! By the way, it's a pain in the you know what. Not to mention, it's scary messing with all those little electrodes or whatever they are. They're so flimsy and feel like they would break just by breathing on them. Anyway, if it works, I'll post some pictures tomorrow.
Like I said, I have to wait until tonight to see if it worked. I tried parking under trees and shading it, but that was no help whatsoever. Tonight I'll get some pics. How hard was it? It was actually easy getting everything out, a couple bolts. It's the black casing that surrounds the LED display that was a pain. I was just scared I would break something and my whole dash wouldn't work, but it still does.
Alright, I got a pic taken. I think I did 2 things wrong. I used 2 pieces of blue electrical tape which causes a line to go right across the LED and it's not that bright, but it's better than that puke green.
I did that at first then I got a thin piece of blue plastic accross the back. Looks better. It is so fricken hard to get the tape lined up correctly. I'll post pics tomorow.
Definitely get some picks! What kind of plastic did you use? I've got to tweak mine a bit, but I'm waiting till I get my speedhut guages before I do that again. I'm ordering them next week when I get back from Cali.
i used a camera grade blue plastic filter... works better than tape, and its easy to install... i took it out though cause i didnt have my gauges yet,but ill be putting them back soon...
you shouls have put that under the Dash board lights were all the leds mods are, it was easy took me 15 min to solder them in and have it back together, its not hard you just have to know how to solder good....
