changing the oz gague color

i opened the gague cluster to see how to change the color. its too easy. the bulb unscrews from the back and its just a red sleeve over the bulb. im going now to get some blue or yellow sleeves to replace them. here are some pics.

is this a how-to? what color are you gonna change em to?

what a friend of mine and i did was put some blue window tint behind our ES gauges. granted i have an ES ad not an OZ, im assuming you dont like the red. but thats a lil idea for you.

EDIT: you can check out my profile to see what im talking about.

I have blue sleeves on mine...doesn't make them blue though....they are a greenish color. I think the back of the gauge plates (the white parts) have a red film on them too.

you need to delaminate or somehow get the red off the back side of them.
