Just a quick update. I finally got around to doing the HVAC, installed brighter bulbs than the cluster so its uneven... oh well, still achieved the blue look except the stereo. Nothing fancy either. I'm happy with it anyway.

Before

(not dark outside but you can see the awful green)
After

Another update. I finally got around to changing the shift bulb and here is the result. So crisp! http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...3/DSC00784.jpg (Entire project done)

The one thing that bugs me is, I bought bulbs that were a different lumen count for the speed gauge/cluster so its darker than the others. Fortunately that is actually the easiest thing to change as I've found. Quite frankly, I wish I knew how to mod the engine and such, the base v6 was nice in its day but I hate when little crappy honda sewing machines can pass me....and newer corollas and soccermomUV's and etc etc.

I got a question here. How hard is it to get to all the bulbs? I was thinking about replacing mine with either different bulbs or just replacing the whole gauge face and etc. I want to change mine to Red and/or Blue. The green is just too dull.

This video might help. It is a GT but should be the same.
