changing the stock orange lighting to a different color??

how can i change the orange lighting on the gauge cluster to a different color...say, blue....like kevin90gsx did on his dyno video....i tried changing the bulbs in the back of the cluster but they didnt even light up...maybe wrong bulbs but i couldnt figure out what size are actually in there stock

you need to buy an indeglo gauge cluster. its just a replacement gauge face that replaces the stock one. you can get them on ebay for cheap

what makes the numbers orange?? cause the bulbs are just plain clear and i cant see any orange crap behind the gauges so....

Here is the proof that changing the bulbs changes the backlight.

Make sure the metal tabs on the bulb sockets are making contact with the cluster.

Check to see if the wires on the bulb line up with the tabs inside the socket.

If you need the bulb number I could get that Monday.

If you don't like the white faced "crap" get black background with glow letters - they are called reverse glow. Go to www.speedhut.com and look at their site.
