hmmmm im thinking about this.....

i wonder if i can use a gel...

Man, that blue tic-tac box worked like a charm. Since i was painting the interior, i decided to change the clock color also.

What are the two things below your stereo in the CD din?

clear or white light is not the absense of color

True. White is all colors in the spectrum. But you can make it.
BTW - I did my blinkers recently. Tried using multiple things but ended up cutting the cap to a 20oz Coke Bottle into the right shape and it came out a nice deep red. Amazingly bright still too. Those Blinkers bulbs are the brightest ones in the car

how can I get the ac unit? I dunno how to take it apart, or I am kind of scared to I should say.

i cant get the ac out as well. its stuck from behind, i need to remove the 2 cables attached to the ac, but i cant hardly reach it

^i think you need to remove them from the engine bay check this

Toyo! I love what you do for me.... TOYOTA! LOL remember those commercials? Okay anyhow, DUde, thanks a mil. I discovered, I never had to take it out. LOL Hoepfully I can put up some pics when it is done in my profile thinige. Thanks again man.

Oh by the way, what do you use to paint everything? Like spray paint?

Hey guys,

Yeh use a good spray paint, preferably one for plastics.

Was just wondering, i used a red filter gel to make mine red (clock lights up green originally), works good at night, not visible in daylight as i have still to remove the tinted plastic facia. the reason is i wanna replace it with clear plastic so that it still has a factory feel to the clock/console (unless u take it apart and find the filter). does anyone know what i could do/use to get effectively as close to the plastic face i have but clear and not tinted?

the problem with making my own piece of plastic is the face curves, if i use a flexible plastic type thing the problem is getting it to stay in place, curved...

any ideas?

thanks

Hey every1......i know this is old and everything but this might help some of you.....i was looking 4 the blue tic-tacs that some of u were talking about and i couldn't find any at wallmart.....so i came home with this box that u can find in the office stuff dept for about $0.50......so i gave it a try and i couldnt be more happy......
it's a little bent(fits right in there) and it matches my gauges exactly

the lighting gels work the best...its what they are made for....go to your local music / sound store that carries speakers and lighting stuff ...and they should have them.

I raed this last night and tried it this morning.......took me 5 hours.............

but i finally got it:


at night (or dark)



I had the worst problem finding the right plastic part for it.

Walker;
thats a great Idea with the TicTac's I'll have to try that as well...

spoooky

look i am going for blue celica and i did what most people did take the amber piece out and put a folder tab and yes experienced the same problem of putting one blue will still look green what i did is that i used a red and blue together mixed and in the end turned out to be blue.... the only down of this procedure is that the light is not as bright as before so at day u may have difficulty trying to see the clock but i dont mind at night looks sweet
