guages
 

hey i saw someone do this on another car but i dunnno if it will work for mcs. you know how gay it is to drive around and look at dull green gauges i mean i like the lay out but that green is anoying. is it posible to change the bulb to get another color or is it like one of those glow in the dark things that you cant change

RE: guages
 

i belive you can look in your book on the car if it shows a blub there then yo can change them I think they might be leds on them not real sure i know the ones in the HVAC are leds for the lights int he buttons I have thought to change mine to red once.

But even if they are the leds they are not that hard to change out etheir just takes some time to do it.
untill TVM gives me my gugaes i wont know as i havent tore the dash on this one apart that far yet i hard wired my fuzz buster in to the car so i ran the wires under the dash pad to hide them so that they didnt look bad then changed it and wired them up by the rear veiw works great but over ehre you cant have them in your cars not that they would help anyway. so i had to put the short cord up in to the head liner to get it out of the way

I'm sure it's possible, but it could get real difficult depending on how it's setup. If it's just backlit, that's easy, replace the bulbs w/the color you want. They also have colored film you can place over the areas the light shines through. Did you ever think about getting reverse indiglo guages? That seems like an easier method

yeah but not for my wallet lol i could use that money for something that i couldnt do on my own

the guges like what im ordering here shortly and what TVM has are not to bad you can find them on Ebay for 50.00 or less just watch the auctions and make sure you read the description or you might end up with euro markings instead of the MPH numbers LOL
that will screw ya up
but they look sharp and are nice to see at night to. I know a few folks that have them in thier SRT-4's here,

RE: guages
 

you have a good point! Well, wish I could help, but im a Monte noob so good luck!

RE: guages
 

If I am not mistaken I think they were LED's.... I tore my cluster apart a couple of weeks ago jacking with my new gauges.
