99 Miata Red Cluster Lights DIY..kinda
 
So I got a new head unit yesterday and it is red, seeing how nice that looked at night made me want to change the rest of the interior.

I yanked out my cluster and got to work, popping the tabs off, using a fork to get the needles off and then unscrewing the faces. Once they were off I flipped them and sanded down till there was no more green with a sanding block. Then I got some red spraypaint, did 2 coats, and slapped it all back together

Heres the result, and spots that looks dimmer than others it my camera. Looks OEM IRL.

When I owned a Lexus SC300, you could change the digital display color quite easily. There was a film over it that you could place even a colored saran wrap to have it output the color you wanted.

Miatas work the same? hehe.

as for the needles that will be pretty easy.

Ill do it in a couple days when thanksgiving break starts :D
