Default Keeping Gauge Lights White

Hey guys, got a question. I like my guages when they light up the normal white. But, when it gets dark and I put my headlights on I can't stand the damn green color. I would prefer to keep the lights white as they are already illuminated. Is there a method of doing this that anyone has tried.

Thanks,

If you have the upgraded gauges, you can change the color to around 125 colors. Mine are custom set to a bright white/ light blue.

Wish I could get that to change on mine...Unfortunately, it's an '07, and I didn't get the GT with the premium package. Oh well, maybe down the road...

My Color is only available with the Interior Upgrade Package.

I DO NOT have the interior upgrade package. I, like many onthers, ordered it from Ed using the above link, which is down temporary, install it. He will get you the buttons for operation also.

Install is not hard at all. There was a link around here with instructions. Use the search for mycolor or mycolor install and see what pops up.

From what I remember,

1. Gently pull the trim peice off that is behind the steerring wheel.
2. Unscrew the 4 screws holding the guages in place.
3. Unplug wire harness.
4. Repeat backwards.

I did not have to calibrate mine but others say they have. The milage is something that ED changed but I am not sure what else needs to be updated.

Thanks! I found that thread you were talking about and called Ed. He is VERY helpful, partsare on order.

He has some really nice Mustang art on his parts site. The kind of stuff that will go for big bucks years later.
