ok i have used the search feature but it is not giving me a definate answer to my problem, ok you use red cellophane right?? i used it and it made my clock pink not white... is my cellophane too dark or whats the deal?? thanks

 

Why don't you try changing the cellophane first and see what happens with a darker or lighter red? Nobody know's how dark your paper was, or the quality or anything. How could we tell you the problem?

 

because i asked if it was red cellophane that you used just to make sure

 

maybe put some pics up that would make it easier

 

yes red cellophane will change the green to white. But you just need a different shade probably.

 

i used pink and it made white....hmm....

 

yea sounds like ur red is too red.

 

ha fair enough. Point is that he should be testing colors before asking others what's wrong with his. Pink really? never heard anyone using pink. Interesting.

 

So...............

Who's the cool guy in this thread? Ya' know, the one with a color wheel...........

What makes orange from green?

 

it was laying around the house right after christmas three years ago. it worked but it's really in between blue and red...but not baby blue or aqua.




check it. it's a little bluer than it is usually must be because of the long exposure.

 

haha i've been trying to figure that out! I was thinking of doing orange led's interior ha

 

frick...i think that makes yellow...

even if it make orange...would that make your interior look like its covered in CEL's?

 

Well the illumination on my pathfinder hu is orange, and now I have the matching orange gauge cluster (Blends in nicely with the cel & abs lights, lol) But an orange clock and climate control would be the perfect touch.

I think I've got it though! If pink makes white, than orange will make........ ah...... orange?

 

Better yet, use pink to make it white, THEN use orange on top to make orange. Hell, while you're at it, make your clock rainbow.

 

I used a dark pink, I guess a magenta type of cellophane. It turned the clock to a very pale blue, but not white. I did the climate control too.

this set up looks very nice

 

For the clock to be white, you have to use a pinkish-red celophane since the clock is a light green.

 

a little off topic, but when you turn your headlights on during the day, and then if you cant see the readings on the climate control you turn the instrument panel switch all the way on to make all the lights in daytime mode, well, my climate control gets bright, but my clock stays dark. It will be bright without the lights on during the day, but at dusk when i turn on my lights just the cllimate control gets bright and not the clock, it goes dim....any ideas?

 

The dimmer wire needs to be cut it is the red wire with the blue tracer on the plug for the clock.

 

Simple Physics.....You mix Red, Blue, Green=White. So use red and blue cellophane Actually i've never tried to change my clock cause I like green. I was just wondering if that would even work and/or to see what your guys insight on using two different colors of cellophane was.

 

well, if i do that, will it stay on bright all the time? with the stock wiring, shouldnt the clock follow the same brightness as the climate control?

 

Not if you do the Always Bright Clock mod in the stickys. Its just cutting one wire.

 

I've never laughed so hard in my life.

 

Thanks!

 

you bungholes made me realize that my climate control buttons don't light up anymore.

 

Err...physics?

 

Mine don't either

 

physics of a color wheel

 

well yeah it will be allways bright but i dont want to be blinded when its pitch black outside. so is there a way i can get it to follow the same brightness as the climate control?

 

kidding right? it doesn't get brighter....it stays bright. Not like you cut that wire and the led light all of a sudden puts out more power...

 

hahaha this thread is amazing. physics=art

 

i understand that its not going to get brighter than it is during the day, but it dims at night when the lights are turned on so that its not super bright at night. All i was asking was if the clock lights should follow the same brightness as the climate control when the dimmer switch is turned all the way up with the lights on.

 

Here's an idea: Run a jumper from the climate control to the clock so that it works the same way.

 

You want to make it white too right? Cut the wire, and see how you like it. If it is too bright, then add a few more layers of cellophane. It will get dimmer accordingly. Problem solved.

 

Haha, thanks, allthough my Q still hasn't been answered, but here's what I have so far..........

R+G+B=White So, that means- R+B=White clock light, and since R+B=Purple, than Purple is the color really needed to make it white........ SO, I've got Purple + Orange = Orange clock.

But to avoid multiple layers of cellophane, all I'd like to know is what Purple + Orange makes!! because than clock light + X = Orange clock light.

 

it's not even bright! It's never super bright ever. I don't know why you're thinking that. And yes, when you paper behind it it will get dimmer. You'll probably have trouble reading it after doing the cellophane more than 1 layer.

 

Anyone know a good combination to make it red? I'd assume you'd have to use several layers of white then red, but I've been told it can be quite a PITA to match up.. I don't want TOO many layers, or the clock might be too dim during the day.

 

why don't you try some things out? Two layers of red should create a red light. But you have to find the right color of red to get red and not pink or another color. Do some work and see what you get.

 

Make sure you guys know what you're getting into if you attempt to do this mod. Changing the color of your clock using gift-packing material from Hobby Lobby is serious business.

 

you want to make sure to get this right the first time cause there is no goingback once you do it
