UNeK02 - looks good. Its a good temp fix. Unfortunately, the heat those little bulbs generate will cause the sharpie to fade and you'll be back to pink lights
so what do you think i should use cause i dont know where to get those lil condoms at for that small of a bulb for the radio?

You should make the radio face red, too. It looks really good. I also have a red interior.

I bought your red kit and love it but that green looks amazing! I think I might buy a green one and maybe a blue one in the near future from you.

Unek02 did you know that you can make the screen red too. Thats is without using the layers of red film that everyone has been doing. I can make a how to if anyone wants to know. Another thing, when you use the red film the light output of the radio face becomes really dim but if you change the bulb its a lot brighter.

Maybe I should've done mine like that. I got the red plastic strips on my clock and radio. During the daytime, you can barely see the time and can't see what track or radio station you are on. But it looks great as heck at night.

Being honest, probably one of my best mods. Looks great when you have the OZ cluster too! THANKS AGAIN Z LANCER MAN.

I just made a how to on how to change the color of the screen without the film. Check the How To section. Oh and no, this method will not work on the clock because unlike the radio LCD, the clock is not a backlit display. The film must be used for it. If i missed anything or if anyone needs me to explain a little better please let me know. Good Luck!

I sell a radio kit which provides all the little gels you need plus full installation instructions for it. Check it out here: Lightrikz

Unfortunately it wouldn't look white since incandescents burn yellowish, hence why there are gels on them in the first place.

Glad to hear you are still enjoying your kit. I've got many more for whoever wants one
