Just swap the bulbs.

It won't be the same though. The ITR dash (gauge cluster) isn't amber because of the bulbs... it's the actual gauge faces that cause the light to appear amber.

Agreed, it's not the light bulbs.

However, I pulled out the cluster and changed my light bulbs to red, and it looks really sharp at night.

I also had the red bulds, it looks good I think. It only cost about $2 and takes about 5 min. to put in. Just try it and if you dont like it your only out $2.

There was an in-car video of someone's GSR, and he had his cluster lit up red. I tried to search for it but came up empty handed... sorry.

Anyone else remember that video?

You can get the bulbs at the auto store. Should be 194 (someone pls. correct me if I'm wrong).

The lightbulbs for the gauges is a 194 replacement bulb. Today i actually took off my indiglos and put blue 194 in and i like them much better. The indiglos use to blind the hell out of me and annoy me.

I put blue bulbs in mine they are #194 wedge bulbs, and the only thing that sux about them is the color doesnt last very long time 2 months give or take, but it doesnt cause much or take much time to replace them. I think there are 3, but you buy them in packs of 2.

I have an amber dash, its 3 turn signal bulbs ( the small turn signal bulbs) It will look simmilar to ITR. I haev an ITR climate contorl unit also, but that cost liek 300 bucks, from my attempting ot modify mine to look amber, so now i have full amber interior. dont try to change the bulbs in teh climate contorl unit, the covers are actually blue so it wont work unless u buy a new climate contorl unit.

There's no bulb in the clock. It's the clear plastic on the front of it that makes it the color that it is.

Yes... I have an ITR gauge cluster and clock....

I stuck polargs in my stock GS-R cluster with the blue condom things on a while back, and it looked pretty good. The bulbs are in fact the 194 wedge bulbs.
