Use a small flat screw driver such as one the for eye glass so you dont' dent the dash.
Good luck

A JDM clock is the same as a USDM clock for the DA

Ummmmmmmm NO!!!!!

JDM DA's never had amber interior lights. The OP must have bought a "JDM" clock that was changed to amber. It's easy to do and gullible JDM kids will buy them without knowing.

EDIT: Have you ever seen a JDM DA gauge cluster? They light up the same color as USDM. So does the clock.

10-4 to that... i raped a RHD da front clip my buddy had for sale and took the cluster, and clock. The cluster I was happy about putting in, kinda disappointed it wasn't amber, but its tight nonetheless. The clock was a waste of 5 minutes. But by all means, be my guest.

Oh, if you want a JDM clock, i will sell you mine for $25 plus shipping just don't bitch when it lights up like stock.

I knew that I wanted amber interior lighting, so THERE AIN'T NOTHIN' TO IT BUT TO DO IT:





And before anyone asks...I didn't change the color of any bulbs.

Took apart the whole cluster, removed all of the material from the backs of the gauges, used a certain light filer so they aren't super bright, and used my secret orange substance for color

On a side note, it does look clean though.

maybe they fucked with it? The one I personally pulled from a RHD front clip was the same as My USDM one... so I'd imagine it has been tampered with.
