thats the great thing about jeep people. we are extremely creative and want to do stuff ourselves. i got on a dodge truck forum to see how hard it would be to change my buddies shocks out. all replies were like... its super easy but would take like 45 minutes and it only cost $150 to have someone else do it... I was crackin up. what a difference in forums.

I've always loved red gauges myself (dad had a Pontiac when i was a kid) and ever since then all of my trucks have had green/white gauges, so i though "TIME FOR A CHANGE".

I did some looking but was unsuccessful in finding anything for our beloved JK, so i said, i'll do it myself...it may not be 100% perfect, but hell it works right?

Now my next project is RED gauges in my 08' Charger!

Hmmm.....this method might work to help tone down that bright @$$ high beam light too.

Here is a pic of the blue gauges!

And yea i know what you mean about the high beam....
Also, i have to figure out how to "rig" the lights so the fogs stay on with the highbeams...

Those blue lights look good! Too bad we can't change the color of the radio lights to blue instead of green

I achieved the white appearing color by putting a red filter behind the displays, they look pretty good!

Sorry, no pics of the cutouts or install procedure...my only camera at the moment is my blackberry; needless to say it takes crappy pictures and has a minimal amount of memory.

Next weekend i will have a camera which is actually worth taking pictures with and i'll gladly post some install pics.
