Hello,

I'm just wondering if anyone has ever or ever thought about changing their push button colour? e.g. Orange -> Blue (like the infinti's)

I don't think it should be too hard... probably just swap an LED right??

Any thoughts or ideas?!

Thanks!

I would imagine solder would be required

The whole display is amber though why would you change it? Infinitis have that blue going around the speedometer and the rpm meter thing. I don't really like it to be honest but that's why it matches with the button starter.

lol. i like the colour blue...I would change the whole display if i could, but I'd thought I'd start out with something easier... the big amber ignition button

ya i gotta say that the thing that bothers me the most about the interior is the speedometer and RPM area... it just looks so plain, nothing special, nothing nice, just plain. i think they could have done a lot better. maybe it will look better when someone changes the color. also i've seen with Honda Civics, people have put a aluminum piece that matches with the aluminum on the steering wheel.... sorta like the how it is with the sports package in the E-class benz

Or better yet, a head's up display like they do in the vettes! That would be too cool!

Well you could always buy some of that colored transparent vinyl film that applies by static cling and put on the surface of the plastic face plate that is over the speedo/tach area. That would change the hue of the gauges when the lights when on. Give them a colored glow. Something like Bopp film or the blue headlight film I have seen in adverts.
