sorry the pics are ****ty. In overall it came out a bit darker then i thought or wanted, but the main display is awsome, looks 100 time better in real life....but i didnt change any bulbs...so guess it was easier then it shoulda been.
heh

enjoy

lol its pretty ghetto so dont make fun, but its cheap and no soldgering required....

- for the buttons:
///umm i took the whole thing apart and took out the green plate. there should be a clear plastic piece inside once u take the plate off. u should see a couple of places on the plastic piece where there are cutouts for the lamps (thats how 5 lamps distribute light throughout the whole dash...) and then i used some paint and jently and EVENLY colored in those openings..(its a pain)...

-for the screen:
///this is even more ghetto, i took some clear tape and used a permanent marker to color over the tape, then i put the tape over the display on the inside...

lol i know its kinda stupid but it gets **** done and looks good at that too...

whole process took me 1 day to complete an cost me around 5$ for everything...

good thing about my setup is that u can change it back to stock real easy.

P.S. if u want a more detailed info, just PM me and ill be glad to explain.

For some better pictures: Set up a tri-pod and leave your lens open for like 2 seconds, or 5 seconds or whatever it takes to get a good exposure. Hopefully you have manual mode on your digital camera

I did this when I took pics of my corner lights which just aren't very bright.
From the pics tho it looks nice... Wish I had time to do that on my car too. But I'd love to get the info just incase I get an extra weekend sometime. Nice job!!
