The Galant GTZ has blue. Maybe you can modify it or ask at your local dealership???

you can always do it the fun way...but it may kill the original gauges...

1: take off gauges and scan in a program such as photoshop

2: change to how you like it...

3: print on a transparency and coat the areas you don't want light to show with heavy dark paint.

4: buy bright blue gauge clusters or desired...


5: install back in and hope your needles line back up for your gas gauge (hear that is a pain in the butt) and you should be good to go...


****I would seriously consult someone who has done this before though..I am just feeding you what I have heard from others who have done it...I have not myself and that was for an mr2 spyder...I would imagine it wouldn't be too much different...most gauges are made the same way...be careful either way and be prepared to have lots of patience...it may not come out perfect the first time but you will get it.

Is the gauge face clear though....otherwise it will come through purple (can't remember if its clear or red like it lights up..haven't had coffee yet..ugh)

if its clear your right...if not it will look funny...either way it will change it...but thats doing it the easy way LOL...
