i dont know about you guys. but the stock lights are amber already. theres red plastic lens and when the yellow blub shines through it. walah.. u get stock amber clusters like mine and the needles light up amber also.

i was actually planning to do exactly the same, but didnt think the bulbs painted amber would be bright enough. those bulbs are tiny. by the way, looks NICE! i think you should give us a step by step on how you did it.

I accually went a slightly diferent route with mine, I took the plexiglas lens out of the top light and replaced it with a transparent blue one. It puts a really nice blue glow on the white needles.

I really like how you "made" your new redline on the cluster

If your really bored, put in a JDM Type R cluster in. Needles light up yellow. Numbers are amber. Very noticeable from the outside. Cut the older cluster plugs, get some 92+ cluster plugs, and rewire it, convert to an electronic VSS and your set. I take mine to 9000 so those old clusters are weak.

maybe its the picture but that doesnt look much different from stock to me. it certainly doesnt look like the oem amber gauges (eg6, si coupe, itr)

yeah i made my climate controls red to match my stereo head unit buttons. i just removed the unit and unscrewed the bulbs. then painted them red and put em back in. really easy and looks great. (sorry, no pics, but easy to imagine)
