Re: color of clock speedo and radio

I also found a site somewhere and they did radios by really changing out the diodes. I think that they specialized in tC's but the radios are the same. It was like 80 - 90 bucks with your radio in exchange. (kinda pricey)

What an easy idea.

How does it look up close?

Skeeter took quite a bit of time to do mine with led.

Re: color of clock speedo and radio

That's exactly what I am wanting to do with mine until I get an aftermarket HU. Hope it looks ok even with no illumination.
