Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Aesthetics changing backlight color on instrument panels

I recently bought some reverse glow gauges for my car and I was just wondering if is there a way to change the color of the backlights on the instrument panels. ( the lights that light the odometer and trip meter) Also, is there a way to change the colors of the needles also? Maybe a bright white color. I just dont like the green background if I'm going to have a blue display on my instrument panel.

LED's are the best way to go. I am currently doing the same to my interior lights. There are several links & how-to's around here to help.

you really dont see the light...maybe around the odometer...as far as the needles pick up some off a svt there red...and they look alot better with the reversglows

As far as changing the color of the needles, all you have to do is pull them off and use like a model paint on the back of them. I easily changed mine to red when I had my tour. Just make sure to mark your fuel level and all that good stuff, cause it can take a while to get it back to perfect. HTH
