just wait until the makers of the g.b. hvacs are finished. they'll be sittin' around saying "what the heck are we gonna do w/ these templates?" and soon enough they'll start selling on ebay, procarparts and the like.

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...

??? the HVAC is just some plastic or whatever the hell material stuck on a piece of clear glass or whatever it is.

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?

Are you saying that the black/markings/knobs black plasticky HVAC panel rest on CLEAR GLASS? Ooops, ma bad then! 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????

I'm pretty sure those in the GB are indiglo just like gauge overlays would be. 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.

hahaha...ok so there is two different ones.

I was assuming that the HVAC was a sticker-like thing because the stock one is. 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?

It does suck, the color has nothing to do with the one displayed in their on-line catalogue, and as I said I wanted ones that would be changing colors based on lights on lights off...
