Instrument lights...color

Anyone knows how to change the instrument light in the dash to a red/blue bulb?
I want the BMW/AUDI look....... and I think the blue light will look good with the white dials on Type-S. Any ideas?

Its prolly possible... BUT... I dont think you would be able to change the color of the LCD's for the stereo and climate controla nd what not.

So your instruments wouldnt match.

I really want the red instrument light effect like BMW, it's a whole different feeling when you sit inside - even with the blue light it feels different.
Maybe a 10hp gain at night with color dash??

Also... Nate has someone make reverse indiglo gauges for the TL... so they might do the same for the CL.

Reverse indiglo looks like VW guages... blue numbers and red markings lit up at ngiht.

Gay if you ask me. But to each his own.

The first generation CL just has small push in bulbs behind the gauges that have green colored caps on them. You can easily change them on this car so im guessing you can do the same on your car but its just a guess.

No more scratches thanks to the dumbass who walked on my car and had to pay to have it repainted.

I wish there was a way to get the look of the new Audi's. The red/white. I don't like the BMW's, I think it looks too orange.

Blue or red would be PIMP.
