Wait a minute. The original OEM piece is a piece of plastic with some lighting inside and/or some green markings. So, if we put the sticker on - then the sticker's own color, blue or what have you, would mix with the original lighting, right? Now, from the pic I saw on the GB I understood that their HVAC was kinda of the same contraption used in overlays, with some green/blue switch, etc. You lost me... MY CAR

Are u saying the sticker goes on top of the original HVAC or did you remove that and stick it on the clear glass? If you removed it, how did it mix with green & blue?

I been trying to put it atop. ...but, listen up, if what are you saying that the aftermarket HVAC is always a sticker - how come the GB ones are white during the day and blue (or whatever) when the lights are on? Then it means the LEDs must be installed as well - behind the "clear glass" panel - and no one ever mentioned LEDs in the GP???? MY CAR

Which would have to be glued/taped down unless they come with a self adhesive, but they wouldn't need LEDs, but they would need to be wired into headlight switch or other 12v source. 98.5 SVT 91 Escort GT (almost sold) 96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve) FS: SVT rear sway bar WTB: Very cheap beater CEG Dragon Run - October 13-15

And yes, if u lift up ur stock HVAC, its clear underneath and the bulbs are white the color is on the thing itself... but whats wrong with the sticker? Does it just suck or what?
