I think that is a wonderful idea. But how well did it all light up though? Would the cellophane wrap hold up too all that heat from the bulbs? I'm actually going to find a nice size piece of clear plastic, cut it out of the shape of the fitting and then lay the sheets on it with tape on the bottom so it won't touch the bulbs. I think that would work best!

hey shaguar thats exactly what i did i just used a thicker report cover from meijer and just layed 6 layers that i cut out usin the stock one as my trace....you dont need any taped just lay em right in. it looks real nice and now my needles are green instead from the light shinin on em...props to the jay es iye for the sweet idea...we could market this lol

How would i make it so the numbers on teh gauge face would shine blue, i have yet to see blue lite bulbs that the right size for our gauge cluster. Right now i just have some amber bulbs in there but i want to have a blue look now to match my deck better :P.

You have to take the entire gauge apart, I tried it with orange but didn't like it, blue would be cool. well, basicly take out the gauge, remove the needle and two screws holding on the face, then cover the back of the face with whatever color you desire.

I think Ami really needs to put this mod on here site. I love my green climate controls now. Doesn't look so cheap as that yellowish color was.
