    Alternative Guage colors

    I want my interior lighting to match my exterior, so I removed the oem guages and colored the white (on the backside) with a maroon marker. I have a spare set of HVAC controls and it looks really nice. I am going to get a spare cluster and try doing it to that too.



    During the day it looks like normal, but at night the light shows through burgandy.

    they are glued on, I took a butterknife and worked around the edge (since the area that is lit isn't glued). They eventually popped right off.

    What kind of markers were you using? I used watercolor markers and it looks very nice. Especially since I got my new stereo that I can customize the colors for.
