I should.. It just depends on what I have going on at the time. But you can drop off your pieces to me and I will have them by the end of the day or next morning...

nice work Rock! it rocks!

some questions:

1) can you do this on a NAV screen? (i tried to take the NAV screen apart before but seems like there are alot of things attached to it so I was afraid of pulling something off by accident)

2) when you open up the radio, did you see the cathode tubes that lights up the screens? do you think u can change those tubes to something like white or purple?

Supp y'all.....
I have gone ahead and redone my stereo and ac units to show you the white color lighting to try to match the gauges.. I will post pics in a couple of hours for you all to see. Just so you can see that I know what I am doing here... I think you will all be pleased....... I am almost done with the doors. When I am done with that, I will also post pics of the footwells as well....

-I took both stock non-nav and nav unit apart for my nav conversion project. What light you want to change if you have a nav system? I don't see what you can do with a nav system.


2) when you open up the radio, did you see the cathode tubes that lights up the screens? do you think u can change those tubes to something like white or purple?

The radio screen is transparent (non-nav unit), the light behind the radio screen make the color, changing the light or the bulb jacket will change the display light for the radio screen.
There is no screen on the nav unit, except the main LCD nav screen which you "don't" want to touch it.

As far as the NAV screen.. I have not worked or seen it, but from it's nature.. th only thing you can do there is a change of the control color... The creen is not, because it is an imag that you see 9on it.. Unlike the stereo and ac controls which have a LCD display and there is no vidoe coming through it....
