Okay, I finished my instrument lights (with help from BigD...thanks dude). I removed the heater/AC panel and the back of it is painted to show the green color. I can't sand off the green paint because it is glued to the plastic piece that holds it in place...I can't get the faceplate off without tearing it up. I noticed there was a project for this in the project section, but it is a 2001 ST. Theirs was simple, they just had to remove a plastic piece that was painted green and any color light will shine through. I replaced the factory lights with blue LEDs and it was too dim to even see it, also, it had a green tint to it.
I went to the dealer to see about ordering the whole assembly for a 2001. The faceplate on a 2001 is black, mine is some kind of beige color...but I am cool with that. He said it was 35 bucks (which is fine too), but I have to pay for it when I order it and there are no returns.
Which brings me to my question...Will a 2001 heater/AC panel fit in a 2003...or, does anybody have one lying around that is in good shape that they want to get rid of?
Why they made all the gauges green and put in a blue stereo is beyond me, but it has bugged me since I bought it and I want to get all this done.
TIA
