Didn’t @iamdub have a supply of blue tint?

I still have some. Getting down to the part that's a little more wrinkled up, but should be perfectly fine for small stuff such as the cluster screens.


So is that stuff he gave you basically like a window tint type film?

That's exactly what it is. Leftover from the early '00s when colored tint was still a thing with the rice burners.

And longer. I moved so many times growing up that many things were never unpacked and were just extra Rubbermaid bins moved around with me. I found that tint in a bin with other car stuff from my early Civic and S10 days.

if it makes you feel any better I have parts tucked away in the shop I just found the other day that were from my accord I had when I was 15. Parts from my old Toyota’s my old civics etc. really need to go through and throw all that shit away lol. I ordered some blue window tint online so hopefully it works similar. Cause it would be nice to get everything blue on my indicators. The odometer really throws it off now

I don't feel bad about it at all. If it was stuff in my way and causing problems yet I still hung on to it, then there's something wrong with me. It's just extra stuff chillin in a corner and forgotten about that ended up being beneficial to some forum members. I'm at least disposing of the tint- one odometer screen at a time!

I recommend you do at least two layers of the tint and plug in the cluster to see how you like it before putting it all back together.

I only did 1 layer myself. Came out pretty good--but 2 would've been better.

Tackled my indicator lights on the esky cluster last night. The turn signals, cruise, and high beam indicators are all twist lock with small bulbs though. Attempted to make my own with the 3mm leds but they weren’t wanting to connect correctly so first hit of bass and probably would quit working. That’s alright though I ordered new ones with blue led bulbs which might be here this week. For now got the rest swapped out and just left the factory in for those. For some reason my 4wd indicator won’t light up though. Have to look into that later not super worried since I rarely have it in 4wd anyways.
