Gauge cluster lights
Has anybody been able to change the color of the gauge cluster lights? I would like to be able to have the lights be blue. Can you just replace the bulbs to a blue one or is it the gauge faces themselves that determine the color?

Couldn't you just replace the bulbs? Are they not replaceable? I would think that they would probably need replacing anyways since the car is about 8 years old.

You can replace the covers that go on the bulbs, but remember that you'll never get the same pattern of brightness if you change from stock.

Oh, yeah i've never taken apart my cluster, but someone said they were covers. I guess that was wrong. I remember some pictures of different colored guages and the colors weren't evenly bright. They said that's what happens when you change colors. That was my main point anyway.

So what color are the stock bulbs? If I replace the stock gauge face with one that will have a blue lighting will I still be able to use the stock bulbs?

i know it's very "rice" but you could always go and buy that bulb paint (they sell it everywhere) and spray your bulbs whatever color you want... i don't know how it effects the briteness though.

putting blue bulbs in the back isn't a good idea because they won't be strong enough to penetrate the actual gauges. So the result is that the color will be very dim and hard to see at night. A good idea is to get the white gauge faces from corksport and then out blue bulbs behind there. That seems to work a lot better.
