Default DIY Amber gauge cluster and climate control

Finally got done with my amber/red jdmness. Sorry the pics suck but you get the point



Just to clear everything up I used 24 bulbs in the gauge cluster and 74 in the climate control painted red with a sharpie and transparent red film for the clock defroster and cruise switch.

pretty good job. was it hard to take out the climate control? everytime i try i can never find the screws to take it out. BTW, is there a reason why you used red and not orange film/bulbs?

looks nice but the sharpie will start to burn off over time. you should get the si bulbs and take the condom off and use them. thats what i did. looks good and will last.

looks good....how did you take the night-time picture. Everytime I try to take the picture, it turns out shitty and I can't see the gauges. I just put in JDM Cluster, Climate Control, and Clock, so I wanted to take pics.
