    Now get working on the dials, factory headunit etc. :P haha
    Nah, just kidding, nice work boys! The dials are fairly easy, from my knowledge the dials have LED's with 'coloured condoms' on them, simply remove the green condoms, colour them in with the texta colour of your choice and you're set to go Or just replace the lights with coloured ones.

    Milo is the one that came up with this idea, the guys in the YouTube video from the best of my understanding used his idea...

    Here is a link to see how it looks VY Commodore Tacho Shiftlight - YouTube

    Note that it would look better in person and be more red than pink

    Hope that helps

    Is there any reason not to change to white? The lenses arent tinted or anything like that are they? Pretty keen to do it.
