Default Amber lit clock

JDM, aftermarket, or.....? I'm in the process of doing a custom all amber lit dash, so I need a clock to match. Does someone perhaps know the trick to changing the back light to a dark amber color?

Use led's with a 10k resistor.

Where abouts are the best places to find these LED's? What is involved as far as install?

You'll have to replace the stock illumination lights in the cluster. You'll also have to be creative with the mounting.

Thanks alot. What I ended up doing was cutting a clear piece piece of plastic off of a package I had to fit the face of the clock on the inside. I then used some of the same amber transparent hobby paint I used on my gauge cluster bulbs and it came out great.
