harofreak00 tried to do it and has a great write up, but was never successful

I worked with him a few times on this.

The dash has a red tint/film in it behind the white. The white /red also transmits lights thru, not just being lit from behind.

It may be possible, but it's not easy.

they make blue dash kits for the 96-99 models...

here is a shot of someone who has themhttp://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/756344/3
and here is where you can buy them http://store.yahoo.com/procarparts/pobo92blregl.html click on the picture to see what they look like lit up.

hmm doubt they would work since the 96-99 dashes are diffent from the 92, right?
either way doesn't sound like an easy process....... :cry:

*edit* - i just looked at the sites u linked....they look cool....but doesn't look as though it will would for an ssei model....i'd miss my boost gauge...and probably some other things.....

thats just the indiglo guages available for most cars

Also, they are only available for the SE with tachometer -no SSE or SSEi clusters.

xX1SSEI1Xx 04-25-2005 09:08 PM

wow.....of all models u would think they would at least make one for the SSEi....perhaps they thought we were given enough extras {stock} anyway 8) lol

or there werent enough of them made to make it worth their while.

BillBoost37 04-25-2005 09:59 PM

Ouch...there's plenty of them made.

I haven't looked up production numbers .... but I see SSEi's all over. Matter of fact theres a beautiful champagne one near my parents place. With a handicap sticker on the mirror. Can you imagine crippled ole gramma driving an SSEi?
