My LCD display is yellow/orange and has a dead bulb plus its starting to bleed. It's going to look like dog poo.

I keep spending all my money on motorcycles!

wait were some climate controls orange and some green?

Mine is green from a 96

what years were they orange?

I wonder how it would look any way with green or orange for the lcd and white buttons.
Thinking of doing this for the radio.

Reason why I say it is I think some color would be good on the interior instead of making the lcd all white as well.

I'm not totally sure. I think my 93 is green and my 95 is orange/yellow. Maybe someone else can chime in.

Weird why they would switch back and forth like that...not sure what I like better orange or green they are both weird.

Well, they are blue buttons, and I dismantled 3 T5 twist locks and soldered them into the climate control for the LCD lighting. HORRIBLE!!! 3 HUGE SPOTS! The buttons and ***** look good though. No time for pics, will post later!

OK, here's more progress... Spots spots spots... Check it out for yourself. I think I can fix the climate LCD. I plan to black out the top of the LED. The trip reset buttons... I think they are going to just stay spotty. I spent a little time evening out the cluster lighting too.

I'm almost positive YeA 2jZ is correct.

Snook, maybe you have a climate control from a 92-94?

I got rid of the spots in my climate control. I simply took the little rubber bulb caps and put them over the LED's I soldered in. I'll snap some pics soon.

Guys, I've removed some baiting personal commentary and drama that I'd like you to keep off of this forum please. PM me if your post was removed and you want to discuss, but I ask you not to repost it again.
