If you take the gauge cluster apart you will see the it has green lenses over clear bulbs.

Remove them and replace the bulbs with color of choice.

just that wount work, their is green trans-lucent? paint or a jell coat  under the overlay. that has to be removed. easiest thing to do is get the gauges from panther in a color, but NO INDIGLOW, just the prints on the colored plastic. then remove those covers on the bulbs and maybe paint over them in nail polish the color of the gague u selected. im having some more done as soon as i get more funds. but it always turns out good.

i was hoping to make a custom set and have it professionaly printed onto a sheet of translucent paper and put velomn (sp) behind it with a red transparentcy behind that so it glowed red when it was lit up (plus some red LED's in place of the lights to make everything glow bright, clean, crisp red)

so i just basicly need to know how to remove the stock gauges with the green?, just pull it off and clean with goop off or something?

you have to be careful not to remove the black or any print for that matter. thats why i said its easier to have panther print you a set of stockers on red plastic like he does normaly, then use your red led's. the expensive part of his gauges is the indiglow and stuf that your not getting, so it shouldnt be to much. and i used rubbing alachol and nail polish remover last time, but the panther gauges look better.

i cant quote a price because the stock prints will be different, but it shouldnt me much more than the cost of the plastic. expecialy if you send him the file from coolcats.
