So , I went to do this do it your self thing after feeling gay and walking around Micheals for 30 mins I finnaly found the crap. So , I came home put it on and it looks horrible. You can kinda see the Transparent paper all wrinkly kinda through the clock and the color looks like a poop amber color ...How many layers of film did you all put down ?? And any tips on this ?

 

I dunno anyone who does amber, usually red. Take it back out and then peel the old tint, put alittle windex on it, then reaply the film, and move it till there are no wrinkles. Then trim the sides, and reinstall.

i used a red film.. not paper. film is thicker.. and doesn't wrinkle.

 

i got mine off ebay!!

 

my friend used developed 35mm film... most of the time u will have a few blank slots (untaken pics) when u get film developed... just use that...

its because you put orange over green and red , that will get you a nice poop color.

the OEM clock has a greenish/red film over the LED's , just keep putting more coats on till it lights up orange...

 

there been plenty of debate about this. the best i can think is to go to window tint shop and ask for pieces of red tint (free), and put 3-4 layers on the clock.

Here's what I did and it matches my ITR cluster perfectly. Try it.

I took the OEM clock out, unscrewed it, and pushed out that purple lens cover that goes over the actual clock piece that illuminates. I broke it out, but I didn't care for that piece because I was gonna use a different cover anyways.

I then took some blank undeveloped film strips (orangish negavtives from pictures), and placed it where the original purple lens was. I put super glue on the edges (be careful not to get it on the film where you can see it), and it looks like the same cover as the purple one except now it's amber/orange.

I then took a red Sharpie marker (permanent), and colored over the actual clock itself. It places a clear red over the numbers that illuminate. I then colored the actual film cover from the inside. This way it's redish clear now. I put it back together and now it illuminates orange in the day, and redish orange at night.

I did it this method, and it retains the same brightness as the OEM green color. This way you don't lose the brightness by using many layers of film and having a dull redish orange you can barely see. It's free.
