Is there any way I could change the tach, speedo,temp, and gas gauge that light up blue in my 94 VTEC so they will al light up amber?

 

paint the bulbs

this is how to make it blue but its the same way just change the flim color thats alll
and you need to know how to make amber from green
so hope it works for you

 

It should be possible... the normal choice is blue, which is in fact easier since its not far off from the stock color. If you wanted to go amber, you would have to remove the greenish-blue tinted lens from in front of the fuel/temp gauges and also you would have to scratch off some of the backing on the speedo/tach face insert. Other than that it would be the same process but with a different tinting.
Case in point...

 

thinking of doing this mod too. has a nice clean look and it seems like it's not too hard to do

 

change the bulb to the desired color

 

I don't see how you could get them to light up amber... I am not too sure how the VTEC tach/speedo are setup... but the gas/fuel Gage is indigo... this would have to be swapped out with something else because no color mixed with blue makes amber correct.... You have to look at the good ol color wheel to see the colors that you can make it simply by applying a film over. You can change bulbs out for LED's but IIRC there is no amber color LED.. but you could use filters on bulbs... Hope that gives you some insight.

 

If you want blue, do'nt you have to take the needles and face off to put that blue plastic in?

 

I wouldn't even screw aroun with the film on anything other than the fuel/temp gage.. Just swap the bulbs out for LED's Much better color IMO..

 

the needles do not have to come off of the speedo/tach, but the face does. It's not too terribly hard though.

 

I like the blue color but it seems like alot more work than I want. Im not very good with patience on little jobs like that.

 

Would this same mod work for 5th gens?
Thanks!

 

you would probably have to put custom LED's behind there, because 5th gens do not have the EL gauges...

You'll have to use LED bulbs....There is a write-up on http://www.hpoa.org I believe
