hey all,

i am getting rdy to do this mod and am trying to decide if red lighting gel or something like that will look as good as i want. i think i can make a red clock from jcwhitney work with a little bit of playin around. i want it to look dark and bright(not pink) so if you guys with it could post here so i can see some of your pics to decide which to try.
i have seen a few pics that make the numbers look grayish will red surrounding but i want just red numbers

thx
storm

Thats what happens when you take a picture of it- it looks white with red around.

As for being able to get bright red, you'll never get it. Physically impossible. The light coming out of the clock isn't bright enough, and red light is the weakest light in the spectrum. Other cars that come stock red are adjusted for this; but not ours.

Everytime you put a gel or a tint on a light, it gets dimmer.

jcwhitney?

thats what i figured....i think ill try ordering the red clock...its only 15 bucks....ill let ya all know if it works out!

i just changed mine to blue, came out really good and its nice and bright. just used a lighting gell that i stole from work and put it in place of the tinted plastic. my clock is now blue and brighter then it was before.

nay sayer

i know that it isnt the right size....but i figure i can try to custom mount it in the dash... it may not work at all...but i want to give a try anyway....i would like to have a bright red clock!

btw shid, i noticed in you pics that your clock is red....what did you do to get that??
