'99 xlt
ok so im kinda new to this forum...infact this is my first post, but i have had this problem for a while and i cant seem to find an answer. ok so heres the deal, i have a '99 explorer xlt that i am doing a lot of interior cosmetic stuff for instance, neons, seats and a new sound system. well i am making everything a nice deep blue color in the interior and ive got that mostly done, except for the dash lights. i would like to have the same kind of deep blue color for them, but i seem to be stuck with that really ugly swamp green lights. im also kind of new to cars and modifications so i dont know a lot when it comes to electronics and all that. well my question is, how am i able to get rid of the awful green color? do i need to replace the lights behind the dash or am i supposed to get a completely new dash kit? so any suggestions or opinions would be great. thanks in advace for the help and sorry for any spelling or grammer mistakes, im only an 18 year old C student.:D

also if you have any extra ideas about how to make my truck "cooler" (for lack of a better word) i'd happily welcome them. but as of right now(while im installing my neons) im thinking of taking some of the easy to remove peices and painting them a blue to match everything else. but hey these are just thoughts:confused:
 












I believe the bulbs are clear, so to change the dash color, I think you'd have to change the gauges and remove the factory overlay.



ooooo that sucks. well i found these really nice overlays, the only problem i got is that they are very expensive (around 90 bucks from where ive looked) and i have no job :mad:
one other thing is that they say they are adhesive... i know pretty much nothing about gauges and replacing them so im not sure if this is standard or not. it just seems like a sticker.
but could anyone tell me if these are any good?
