And I thought I was the only one not digging the green analog clock There's not much you can do about it. Yeah, maybe the LED color you could change, but that's about it. (I'd like to change green into white)

People are making fun of the OP for bringing such an insignificant thing up, but I agree that for all of the modern creature comforts of this car, the clock looks like it's out of a 1988 Buick Century. But no, I doubt seriously there's a way to upgrade it.

I saw once, on the 5th gen Prelude, that their clocks have a filter that you could remove it and swapped with different film colors. Maybe you can try the same approach, but I don't know if ours have some kind of filter tho. Besides that, I don't think there's nothing you can do. Good luck (Taken voice)

Oh, this is a link for the filters on a Prelude, so you can see what I'm talking.

If they just made it a nice white LED like the gauge cluster, it wouldn't look so out of place.

I understand what the OP is talking about. My 95 maxima clock is the same color and character.

I did notice that when I bought the car. Doesn't bother me enough to change it though.

I totally agree. it looks like it's out of a 1987 Corolla, almost like it was an afterthought. That said, I also had an Infiniti, which realized that clocks in cars can look nice, and did that years ago. My Porsche also had an analog clock. It's really just more of a laughable thing than something that bothers me at this point, but I totally get the complaint.

^ werd, I have a (5-speed swapped, supercharged V6) 94 camry as my track car, and it basically has the exact same clock on it. From 20 years ago. lol

with that said, people have used those films to change the color to a blue or a red before though, so it can be done if you REALLY don't like the traditional Toyota green.
