I totally agree, I hate that clock. On my Celica what I did was purchase blue film that they use for spot lights at a theater staging store and laid it over the clock. It did turn it to blue but it was very dim during the day.

I'm a white person too which eventually after the prototyping stages it will be white. Still contemplating though since the head unit is mostly blue I may just keep the LCD blue but it may be too much if I make the climate control screen blue also.

Go ahead and PM me how you cleared the shift plate and we'll see if I get the guts to experiment with it. I'll let you know if he can do anything about that hideous clock. I'm sooo tempted to just unplug the power to it

That line in the middle won't be there for the final product. It's just there so he can show a side by side comparison for people so they can decide how they would like the LCD screen to be. Before doing the 2 different halves on the LCD screen, he did a blue LED that started on the left of the screen, that transitioned to a white LED in the middle, and then back to blue to the right of the screen. I wish I took a picture of it because I thought it was really cool. Maybe the next time I see him I'll ask him to do it real quick for a picture.
