hyper white?

Hey guys, so I have wanted to change the color of my guages for a while now. I want to go from the stock red to the civic hyper white. I think it will be much cleaner looking in the car. Opions and tips?

What year/model? I'm not sure what civic hyper white is but you can get some different color leds for most setups.

Basically, with the stock cluster overlay you are sol. It uses a film behind the overlay to produce the color you see. You can get an aftermarket overlay and some leds to replace the incandescent bulbs the stock cluster uses. http://www.blackcatcustom.com/Firebird%20Trans%20Am.htm They have an overlay and led bulb replacement kit below it. They say if you want white leds, they can optimize the overlay to suite your color choice.

Changing an overlay isn't that bad, you will just have to take your time to realign the needles. While they are off, you can wet sand the color off of the back of them and paint them white or whatever color/design you want.
