The color that I first used turned it pink, but I ended up getting some from somebody on the board that is more of a pink color that turned it a very slight blue (a white-ish blue).

I did my clock about two weeks ago with red cellophane from Party City and it came out fine.

me too, i think white lookes better than red or blue, so to get the clock to go white, you have to use a red cover?

Can I see pics??

I was leaning towards going all white including the climate control and getting white neon tubes for under the seats... and maybe, big maybe white neon kit under the car.

If you use cellophane, wouldn't lights get less brighter?

yes i just did this with my clock and auto climate. it looks good, but i might switch to leds. ****t it beats the green by a lot. btw lokobreed this **** is easy as hell. if you cant do this than you cant open the hood. no offense. just pull out the vents and unscrew the clock. then tape the cellaphane around the lcd

hey

I just have never done anything like this...

Just pulling out the vents wont break anything?

Also what type of cellophane? red? And that will make it white?
-- -how long does it last for?


Is the bose system and AC harder to do?

Hey

Is there any other way to change the color to white without using red cellophane? Because if it makes the stuff less bright, im not sure if thats what I want?

What about in the day, is the white even visible?

I just did this friday. It is very easy to do. I cut the dimmer though. I thought it matched my new headunit (which has white text) with the headunit dimmed (you can change it to on/off/auto) and the clock not dimmed. I am going to have to take some pictures when I get my car clean.

I have a ton of it now though. 30" X 5' roll for $1.29 + tax.

Stop using cardomain to post pics. It doesn't work.

I would just make sure you get it as flush to the LCD screen as possible.
