Interior light conversion.
I like the amber/orange conversion as well, but like others mentioned, this is one mod where I think you need to go all the way or not at all. You have to complete the gauges and clock to finish it off.

Not saying this is the case if the GS, but on one of my Acura cars, the clock had a colored film over the crystal face for the color. I just removed that plastic color filter film, then used my own colored filter. In my case, the natural color was a light green with an amber film to make it amber. I changed it to blue, but had to try different shades of blue and even purple to get it to match the color of the rest of my dash.

The more green you have, the more luxurious things you can have.
The color of dash lights to me does not really tell me whether something is luxurious or not
If a Diahatsu had the same color lights as your beloved 540, it would still be a Daihatsu, right?However; you did make something you did not like into something no one else likes, two tone colored interior lights

I was talking about green, as in money

There are a lot of members that have posted, including my self, that would like to see you complete the transformation. I don't know if I would be able to live with amber radio, ac display and green tach/speedo. IMO, I would have left alone or change to a color that would flow with the light green color of the tach/speedo.

I like the look your going for, I just don't think the reason is a good one, IMO.

With LEDs it's just doesn't look right, it's like illuminating dead gauges Any ideas?
Thanks.
