Hey, thanks rocky. I did end up taking it off, but I din't want to just leave it like that, without anything solid to cover it. So I got a piece of clear plastic that was lying around the house, cut it, and used the oven to soften it so that I could shape it to fit where the original brown lens used to go. Then I laid it in and used three spots of glue with the gluegun to hold it in...now the clock is white. Then i put in a whole bunch of blue cellophane wrapping and a little bit of purple. Now it looks great. Even in the daytime the clock lens is blue, I think it looks pretty cool.
I'll put up some pics soon so that you guys can see. Thanks everyone!:D This post has been edited by blaque_6thGen: Mar 30, 2005 - 11:39 AM --------------------  this is what happens when your little brother is better at photoshop than you are |

QUOTE(ShadowFX @ Mar 30, 2005 - 4:48 AM) just cut the green wire? does your plug look like the one in the pic (with 5 wires out the back, and the green in the middle)? my plug loks diff. it has only 4 wires out the back but 5 holes, and the green is 2nd from one end (not in the middle). :S [right][snapback]263947[/snapback][/right] yes we have 4 wires. Cut the green. It works normally except it doesn't dim when you put the lights on. -------------------- |

that was the point of this thread haha. for those of us who have the green clock (such as me) the guide will tell you what to put over the clock for your desired color. 2 blue layers over 1 purple layer over my green (teal with no filter) clock made it a nice clean blue.

maybe this is a dumb question. what kind of clock does my car bring? i dont know if they were made randomly or if specific clocks were made for specific years. because from what i understand, some clocks just come white with a green filter, and some clocks shine green with no filter. mine is a 94 st coupe. i want a standard blue color for mine. not light and not too dark. just like a royal blue. im guessing if its like rocky's with no filter, i would use 2 blues over 1 purple. but if it's white...what do i use? a couple of blue layers??? and how do i know if my clock has a filter? are these dumb questions??? lol.

all clocks have filters. mine was a teal clock with a brownish lens to make it a greenish color. some are white with a different filter. if you have a white clock, then yes, use a few blue layers only.

nope, our clocks are diff. wiring. they only have four wires, but cutting the green wire still stops it dimming when your headlights come on.

maybe it may just be me, but the everythingcelica.com website asks for a username/password, and therefore i cant access it. when i click on cancel, it changes the url to autoblog.com

Just a thought, why don't we all post the information of our car (year, model, etc.) and what kind of clock we have (white or green) to see if we can notice some kind of pattern to their distribution. It would be nice for people to be able to predict the version of clock they have before cracking it open, plus I'm just curious to see if there is a correllation.
