Dash Gauge Colors - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

DizzleShizzle · 07-30-2007, 12:50 PM

Hello everyone.

This is my first thread ever although I've been reading TN for some time so just wanted to say hi. Ive tried to search everywhere on both this forum and the web for different colors for the tempurature/AC dials on the dash but cant seem to find them anywhere. I saw one camry on this forum that had blue ones. Anyone know where these are available? thanks!

You'd better start learning about surface mount LEDs and soldering if you want different colors. Aftermarket gauges and HVAC controls do not exist. It has to be a custom job.

Are you referring to the custom Hybrid from the SEMA show?

oh man, i thought it was just the plastic transparent cover that gave it that greenish color. so its not an easy cover replacement type deal?

I think I know which picture you are talking about,
the colour was not changed, the picture was just over-exposed.

It might be. Do you have a link to the picture? i've been looking but cant seem to find it again. But I guess if the gauge colors cant be really changed by changing the cover my question is answered.

This one?

oh no it wasnt this one. I'm the pretty sure the one i saw had blue dials. I think it was in an SE V6. Ill keep looking for the picture. It was the same white/blue color as the speedometer lights.
