woot!! red clock worked!, moded red clock Options

[stormtrupr]

hey all,

I finally got my new red clock installed! i got it to work with the stock hour and minute buttons too! so it is completely stock looking except for the red numbers!
anyway.... pics are in my profile!

i ordered the clock from jcwhitney for 22 bucks shipped and have about 3-4 hours modifying it.....would be faster now that i know how to do it and it looks great! IMO

just thought i would let you guys know it can be done if you want it to be done:)

cool, did you rip the cae out and then replace the unit, or just the tint piece, or what?

Looks good. Reveal the secret. Please?

Well, we know what clock he bought- its housing was too big, but now its in the stock housing.. interesting.. If I had a JC clock in front of me, it'd be easy, but since I dont.. Tell us!

i took the face housing of the jc clock and trimmed it down with a dremel until it hit into the front housing of the oem clock. i then cut out the button area on the jc clock face. i glued little tabs of plastic to the side of the stock buttons for hour and min to make the buttons work. i also took out the red plastic on the face to make it brighter and used the oem cover to dim it a bit. lastly, just glue it into place and there ya go.....i have pics and could do a how-to if you guys want....just let me know

thx all
