Clock/Alarm In Center Dash

How does this come off ? is there hidden screws? it feels like iam going to break something if i pull to hard, does it just snap in ? the clock in the center of a 2k max that is.

i know i saw a thread awhile back about peeling some type of material away from the little LCD, so that the light appears to be a bluish/greenish color, CANT SEEM TO FIND IT NOW....but to do that would be the only reason i take out that clock

It's red wrapping paper or seran wrap over the clock. I wanted to try this myself then thought...it wouldn't match the rest of the interior other than my white courtesy lights.

Wrap a flat head screw driver with a small rag and "pop" out the clock.
Simple as that.

There is also a wire to cut so that it does not dim when you put your parking lights on. I suggest cutting it, because with the red cellophane, it is not as bright anymore.

ITS AMAZING WHAT A 77 CENT ROLL OF CELEAPHANE CAN DO!

And it was the red wire ppl, Theres a slightly thicker one and a thinner one, cut the thin one, it actually says Ill wich means illumination on the back of the clock.
