Default Dash Glow

Well basically im looking to change my upper lights on my dash....(you know the ones that shine down onto your needles)
To a deep red, any suggestions?
Can i just buy a film to go over the plastic that seperates the two? mind you, im looking to go the cheapest DIY way possible lol.

Are you talking about your needles in your instrument cluster???? U have to replace the bulbs with colored ones in order to change it. Very easy to do though.... I just did it on my 240sx

Most of the smaller bulbs will have a marking or printed on the bulb stating it's size.. if it doesn't, try going to a local auto parts store and see what they say?

Places like autozone can usually look it up for you, so you might be able to just call them and ask.

How can you order from a site and not know what site it was?
