    Is it possible to change the colors in the dash gauges, they are an orange color but i bought a stereo nd it has blue lighting. So i was wondering if there was any possible way to change the lighting? Can anyone help me out with this? It would be much appreciated!

    the lights themselves are not colored so you would have to change the inlay, but not sure if blue ones are made

    all you would have to do is scrape off the red coating and change it to blue somehow, take it apart and see what you find!

    If you're going to do custom, you should check out this site: http://www.tapplastics.com/shop/product.php?pid=254&. They have rolls of semitransparent colored acrylic film.
