i got tired of looking at all the different light colors on the stock dash.
so i ordered a kit http://www.lightrikz.com/evo_kits.htm
which made it much easier to replace the stock bulbs and add some red gels, then for me trying to paint them.

not the best pics , but you get the idea.
the new red lights match the stock cluster color quite well.

Looks good! I just sent the guy an email to see if he has a light kit to convert the greddy gauge backlighting. It'd be so nice if my greddy gauges matched the dash along w/ everything else.

+1 Mark, please let us know if he's got one! I've asked about it before, and the responses have been negative. If he doesn't have one, I am willing to disassemble my boost gauge (easy to get to) to figure out a way to do it.

Mark, have you heard anything from the guy about the GReddy gauges?

Nope, no response. :( I'm not too optimistic about being able to change the backlight color of the Greddy gauges since this has been an issue that goes back many years to my DSM days. I've never seen or heard of anyone who's been done it.
