Default Change gauge color?
I saw a tread a long time ago that a guy was changing his red stock gauges to green. I never saw the end result and I can't find this thread anymore but maybe someone on here knows of how to do this? Or the tread I can't find.
Just figured it would be a fun weekend project that would make my speed a little different.

That's exactly what I was looking for! Thank you

Also those little Smt LEDs are not terrible just use a decent iron and proper tip.

Not gonna lie, that final pics in that thread look pretty good, when he switched it to blue/white. I would never do all that shit myself, but for someone who is good at electronics and wants something to do, this seems like something pretty cool actually.
