Default Amber lights

So my uncle just changed most of my dash lights to amber LEDS, i was wondering if there is a Amber gauge cluster out there? Anyone know where I can find one?

Or you can have your uncle replace the cluster bulbs with amber LEDs.

the wiring can be seeen in the DIY, its for a civic, but its the same concept, but the taking apart id suggest a haynes manual, i had to take my dash apart and it helped immensely. There are screws where you'd never gueess

there was a DIY about changing your cluster amber.. you will need to remove the greenish blue color in the back of the cluster..

well i couldn't find the link at this moment... i'll try to do a write up soon...

1. remove cluster from car.
2, unscrew each meter, example: gas, temp, rpm, mph. label the screws to each, cause if its the wrong length, there wont be any connection.
3. Buy acetone or nail polish remover, acetone works better.
4. use a Q tip, dipped with acetone and brush it on the bluish greenish side.. be real careful not to touch the front of the cluster.
5. After you're all done, either paint.. or buy LED colored bulbs, the color you desire, I believe the bulb size is 194, there is one bulb you might need to paint, its a very small bulb, forgot the size.

6. Reinstall cluster to its original. and BLING..


I will try to get detailed pictures. Kinda busy.
