Honestly my way was more simply . I have made new blue cover from this bottle

That's it

[WALKER]

But what color was your clock without a cover, was it green?

I was something like light-green-blue color... can't specify that better

Hey no problem, that is good enough. I will go back to the drawing board tonight and try round 3 of getting it blue. Tonight I am going to use a thick dark blue plastic off of a tic tac container, I think that should work quite well. Am tempted to try the orange container and see what that looks like.

Well just to let all of you know the blue tic tac container worked perfect for changing my clock color to blue.

Here is my clock conversion. As you can see it's almost white in color, used the cover from a MR2 clock but anything you can find thats the same purple color should give the same result. Matches the stereo well too.

[soven]

purple for green to white

[Tony-94]

Thats the idea. Will try and get some night time pictures up.

You have to pull out the bit around your gear stick, take out the two screws holding the bit around the climate control and stereo which the clock is attached to then i think it is four smaller screws on the clock.

Exactly.
Does anyone know if they make a red tic-tac container? I did the red clock mod a few years ago with some color samples from a paper company. They had various colors in the sample pack so I was able to mix and match about 5 sheets to get the exact red to match everything else in my car but even after cutting the green wire on the back of the clock it's a little hard to see on really sunny days. I think a red tic-tac container and just a few of the paper samples would work better.
Also did the gauges, key-ring, lighter ring and dome [LED] in red. Looks like a submarine under attack in there. LOL.

i used some of the clear colored cd cases for my clock and my stereo color mods. the others (keyring, climate, etc) with unvisible light sources i put colored paper areound the light, but not too close so it wouldnt burn. as long as it surrrounds all of the light's reflection it will work! for my guages at the time i have colored bulbs, but i am going to try somethin different when i get the hyper whyte LEDs im lookin at
