    Green to white gauge lights

    Hey everyone, im new to 3geez, and ive taken alot of idea from you guys for my car.
    I figured that green film crap couldn't be too think, so i just took some 180 grit sandpaper and sanded the back off untill it was completely white.

    Before:
    Also with old headlights...


    After:
    New silvania silverstars



    Let me know what u guys think

    Welcome to the boards!

    The gauges look pretty nice, kinda hard to tell tho in that tiny pic. Got any bigger ones?

    Re: Green to white gauge lights

    Man I didn't know the green stuff would come off like that. That will make the blue LED mods look sooo much better. Nice work and welcome!

    Re: Green to white gauge lights

    damn that's cool. I never even thought of doing that to mine. Sweet base of a 3G to start from. Keep it clean, and keep up with the nice subtle mods.

    Any daytime shots of that A-pillar gauge pod?

    btw... Welcome to the board.

    Re: Green to white gauge lights

    yeah, the gauge pod isnt done, whenever i get a heat gun im going to form it, then get some fiberglass and make it look more like its supposed to then paint all those pillar covers black to match everything else.

    Autozone special pod:


    Oil pressure (not hooked up yet)


    Voltage

    Re: Green to white gauge lights

    I actually converted my gauges to light orange like 10 years ago. You have to be careful not to sand too much.

    It's back to green now.

    Re: Green to white gauge lights

    u guys know how to make a guy feel welcome, lol, most other forums are like ehh whatever
    Yeah i might go with leds to backlight..the regular bulbs are kinda uneven in some places..maybe the blue leds to match my amp or go with a brighter white to get rid of the dim spots..but definatly on the heater controls
