Green Gauges

[guodd]

Is there a way to make the backlights blue instead of the green color that lights up the dash at night?

Is it not just a matter of replacing the gauge faces? The only gauge faces I have changed in the past were on a classic car and they use white lights and colored gauge faces, not colored lights.

The Rio uses red and green LEDs instead?

Or are we talking about the clock and odometer areas?

dont know. i am going to try and put red in to see if it will show red. but i am beting there white stock so it will still look green =/

well i got my LED lights today in the mail and it did not go so well. no place to put them. take a look here and you can see what i mean. i could be missing some thing but i could not pull things apart any more.

I am not a 100% about this but looks like u turn the metal tabs and push back the plastic tabs and it should pop off

i truned them started to try and pull it out and the gas "arm thing" that tells you how much gas you have. well the gas one fall out after working at it. i could not get the RPM/speed ones off.

So, how did it turn out? Were the stock LEDs white or colored? If they were white, are the green sections yellow now? (Red LEDs + green colored sections = yellow, I think).
