Guard Dad hasn't posted in several years*, so you may not get an answer.

True, I figured someone would know. Oh well...

TheWolfe · 06-04-2017, 09:49 PM

Yeah, I'd also like a tutorial or something on the +/- shift indicator

The following assumes the use of LEDs but should be same basic procedure for incandescents.

If the LEDs are white, you can buy tinted caps. Or you can probably find some tinting "paint" but you need to make sure it is compatible with the LEDs. (If incandescent, will have a glass bulb and compatibility is not an issue.)

If they are colored, you will probably need to replace the LEDs with the appropriate colors. This will require some soldering skills.

The FSM may give more info but probably considers it part of an assembly with no serviceable parts inside. Worth a look. Link in my sig.

Did the washer mod tommy exhaust 6$. And sounds amazing. Waiting for boost to get a 3" exhaust and this will tie me over until them

Painted "Z" and outer ring of side marker lights. 1 can of VHT epoxy paint ($6.00). I should have wiped the dust off of them before taking the pics.

Jimbo370 · 06-15-2017, 01:26 PM

Like to see it on the car. Does it effect the light coming on? What color is ur Z? Nice job by the way..
