stock radio, dash lights to red *Pics*

well i saw that a few people wanted to see what the stock radio looked like red and no one had put up pic's so here you go ...all i used was a red sharpie on the radio coloring the lil bulbs and the clear plastic thing that goes over them . and of couse i just ordered the bulbs for the dash . anyway this is just to show people the radio in red. looks way better i think. sorry about the bad quality

it's extremely easy, do a quick search for info about replacing the stereo and you'll find instructions

Its really easy, pop off the ac knobs, 2 screws and it pops out, i didnt use a red sharpy though, wish i did. I did this like 2 eyears ago and tried to put red condoms like the blue ones on. But the problem was they were 2 big, so i had to cut them. They are held on there by the plastic peices around them haha. Yours looks just as good with sharpy though.

yeah its not that hard . i got the how-to on here the only thing that was a pain was the radio. and by that i mean having to take it a part, color it, put it back together, find out its pink, then take it back apart then color some more then put it back together again. thank god it looked great the second time or i would have screamed . but for what its worth because of this mod i took out my aiwa deck just cause it looked better.

^^ Truly unique as well. I think you're the only one with a green lit interior! Thanks John for the referral as well

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
