Default DIY blue clock

i didnt take any before pics but i do have a pic of it finished on my car.

1: pop out the clock with a flat head on the (left side)
2: disconnect the clock from the car.
3: Unscrew the 4 small screws on the back and remove the clips and small box.
4: with a BLUE SHARPIE color two coats over the top side of the glass and let dry for 30 seconds in between coats.
5: Put everything back together, reconnect the wire and put it back into the car

well the pics arnt showing up if you want to see one ill e-mail it to you...

let me know if you need any more help

or if you want in the CB7 you can just swap an integra (wite or orange light up clock) in to your car

May be a stupid question but you do have the pictures loaded onto an online hosting site before trying to post them on here right?

hahha i was bored one day i went outside and tried it, eh it works for only a month or so, but the fastest way is the the whole consol out and take the a/c controls out too and where the big bottons are at, behind them are a blueish teal colored plate inside the botton, remove it, and do the same to every one, then pant or mark..lol the clear side where the light shines trew the bottons the color you like to you....makes a big differnce...trust me those lights inside are as bright as leds just need to remove the blue plate.

i tired to see if i can do the same with the speed montor,, but no luck once i get my car back im going for a white faces with blue and red numbers
