tried the tictac case, didnt work, used an enlarger filter(photography thing) and ended up spilling glue all the way down the front of it and you cant see the clock >.<...
so now i gotta go and get some color gels from somewhere and see if i can pull it off with that..

Red seems to work out best, The green from the clock goes with red to make firey orange digits on a blood red background... I used some translucent blue (Blue Colbat 37) paint on the actual LCD clock surface and it simply gave me turquoise/aqua digits. I'm going to try replacing the plastic aswell perhaps some extra blue will cut out some of that green but I'm pretty sure it's going to just become dimm and still not filter any green.

i'm having an incredibly hard time securing the stage gel that i bought to the plastic housing for the clock...i've tried hot glue, and elmers...neither is working. Any suggestions? I'm thinking that some kind of mechanical fastener rather than glue would be the way to go...

Wow thats good, But are your digits white? I don't see any green in yours at all?

if you guys wanna cut out the green, use a number 3 or 3 1/2 photographic enlarger filter. That will take the green right outa it!

I took my amber plastic thing out, and used the tic-tac container for my blue. If you're careful with the amber piece and don't break it, you can use it as a form. Put the hacked up tic-tac container plastic on top of it, and heat it with a hair dryer using the original amber piece as a form, it won't soften up the way the tic-tac plastic will. Then you can basically reattach the plastic the same way the amber one was attached, with the flat little tabs on the top and bottom. Voila! Professional aqua-blue results! kindasad.gif

On a side note: I have 3-4 spare clocks with and without brown filters if anyone needs one. I also have a book of various color tinted clear paper that have several shades of each color which can be combined to make practically any color you can come up with. If anyone wants me too I'll make clocks in your color choice for $20ea - just gonna need you to post a sample of the exact color you want.

Hi all I have changed the Clock - At Last.

I orderd a Supergel Sample book ($0.00) and spent some time finding the right shade.

Took pics with my Cellphone but they are gastly, I'll take pics with my Camera tonight.
The blue is perfect.

Delusionz I have Gell's for your car lets get together some time soon. thumbsup.gif
I have pinks for Nat as well. tongue.gif

Hi again

I read somewhere that using a purple gel will give you a white clock... I must have used the wrong shade or purple or something! Lol. I got my light gel for $1 so I can't complain for the nice aqua blue I got. It's a step in the right direction. But has anybody achieved a white clock (actually white, not just kinda blue) with the gels? Or would I need to replace the whole clock? Because my step-momma just bought an '09 Camry with the white gauges and clock, and that's exactly what I want in my car. So I guess I'm desperate enough to buy a new clock if I have to, but I like those $1 light gels if anyone can give me the right color combination.

EDIT: Forgot to say the first time that I don't really think it's possible to do this, turn a green clock to white, since white is all colors and those gels filter colors out and remove them. But hey, if I can get close, I'll be happy smile.gif
