Anyone know if there is a way to change the lighting behind the tach, speedo, etc to an amber color to match the color of the climate control and stereo readout?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Anyone know if there is a way to change the lighting behind the tach, speedo, etc to an amber color to match the color of the climate control and stereo readout? Can I do a bulb swap? If so, any leads on where can I get the bulbs and how difficult is it to access them within the dash? I assume that the whole gauge cluster has to be removed? I was looking at a TSB for dash rattles and it seems like the gauge cluster is only held in by two bolts and a bunch of friction clips. Anything tips on getting it out without damaging something in the process? PS - Ed, please don't get your undies in a bundle over my request for a reverse "amberectomy".

POST 2Original post

Not sure about the color change but the cluster removal is pretty straightforward. Here's a write-up I did for my Boxster quite some time ago.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Tom. That's a great walk-through of the cluster removal. I can see where the bulbs go for the three LCD readouts on the lower part of the gauges, but where are the bulbs for the gauge faces?

POST 4Original post

I think they're more in the center. Check out this video I found: You Tube around the 2:28 timestamp
