Yea, I messed up and ordered 35* instead of 90 or higher, its not as bad in real life looking straight at the gauges

Ok how did you remove the orange color?

Its is another bulb on the back or what? I would like to do this to my 97.

So if I want to change the color of my dash to white to match my sport comp 2 guages I just need to put a different bulb in?

Basically, except the bulbs in your truck are white, not green.... The gauge face, heater controls, and headlight switch have a green tint on them

Its alot easier to get a different color bulb bright enough to overpower the green (such as the blue leds)

White would take a lot of time IMO

I wonder if you can peel the green film off of the surfaces?

I believe so, the gauges would be easy, but the headlight switch and heater controls would be difficult if possible

i have an 07 cummins i changed all my lights to red, even with the green film on the back never affected the color and the odometer on the dash cannot be changed therefore if you can get a colored film thats the only way to change those colors. superbrightleds.com is the place theyre very good with bulbs about anything you need they have them. ive already converted tag lights 3rd brake, reverse lights for now but i plan on doing more. simple as pulling your cluster out and changing the bulbs ill post up a picture

you cant peel it off but what ive used on a buddy of mines was MEK methyl ethyl ketone, metal can at a hardware store like paint stripper but stronger and it whipes the green right off. if not use paint thinner and like 600 grit sandpaper on the back

Thank you, I will be swapping my stock Diesel cluster back into my former puller soon so I want to do all this before it goes back in! Looks absolutely awesome!
