I believe he meant "JDM orange film".

 

He is talking about some amber translucent film. You can buy it at craft stores. Just cut a strip and stick it on. Insta-JdM y0!! Here is a link to a DIY article. http://www.geocities.com/mt3c/DIY_Amber_Clock.html

 

oh ok....ill go to the craft store soon for some g-hetto JDM...thanx for your guys help

 

this is the thing that i did...i was too lazy to do a write up so i told that guy about it and he wrote the write up...all i did was buy folder tab holders and cut them out and put it over my clock...then i cut the dimmer wire in the back because i drive with my lights on ALL the time and its really hard to see the clock...hope that helps

EDIT: He credited me for the idea

 

what the heck happened to the Amber Climate Control, Amber Cruise Control, and Amber Guage Cluster pages on that site! damnit!

 

****, it looks like the site is temporarily down. Too many hits ? I dont know, it will probably work later.

 

Use 1 or 2 films of that orange tape stuff. Pop out your existing plastic that's blue or purple. Replace it with the 2 pieces of film. Take a red sharpie marker and color over the actual digital board piece that displays the numbers. Reassemble it all back together.

 

ok thanx...infinity racer....ill make sure to put pics up to show you guys what it looks like.i just bought the amber bulbs for the cluster too so ill show you that too..does anyone know how to post pics...cause it doesnt work for me ...

NP...host the pics on imagestation.com, or hostedimage.com and then right click, click on properties, copy the url, click the "Image" button on HT, then paste the url there

 

Here is a picture of my guage cluster with some autozone 194 amber bulbs. it came out ok i guess. Anything is better than the stock white bulbs.

FYI, now is the time to go and pick up the orange film since most places (especially arts & crafts stores) will have it in stock for the Halloween season coming up.

word!!! I'm going to michaels tomorrow

 

i thought all u had to do was place the film over the clock where the numbers are, on top of that..i put one layer on that, didnt work..was still white... i'm guessing i have to replace the existing piece on the exterior one ..? I was tired of trying to mess with it so i quit , gatecrasher got pics?

I bet this looks better in person, I did this to mine and it looks much better in person.

 

wow yours look really white, mine looks amber. my bulbs were not the cheap kinds it was like 3 bucks a pack. mine turned out really good, same with my climate control and everything. i didnt cut the dimmer wire cuz i dont want my clock to be all bright as hell at night. i just used the amber plastic thing i got from the hobby shop and did two strips over the clock. everythign else was easy.

here's the site where you can do all the mods

 

wow, way better than spending hella money on buying a real one. ill have mine done in a week or two *lazy*. i already did my gauges tho, that was easy. that DIY site is .

 

Anyone else have difficulty seeing their clock during the day with this mod? Mine is hella dim now.....Oh well looks good.

 

when you do the climate control..do you have the film touching the actual parts or the white stuff touching the actual part..which one on top of the other?

 

hehehe... did my clock today looks good

 

also..do you need something to make the film stick to the part or just it just stick to it on its own?

 

Easiest thing to do....

Buy the Transparent Red Presentation Covers, cut out two layers and use double sided tape to stick it to your USDM clock(inside)

The two layers of red will light up as Amber.
