Heya!

A friend of mine swears a while back that when the RX8's first came out, that someone was showing it off to them - and you could change the color of the interior gauges... From say Red to Green, To yellow, etc... Much like the 05 Mustangs can do with the upgrade package.

Is there any truth to this?

 

Not a clue, but I wish it were. Hate having all red gauges in my BLUE car...

 

the 8 ain't no Scion.

 

no truth, choices are red or white when the headlamps are on.

beers

 

sorry if i'm stating the obvious:
when you click to night mode the gauges go from white numbers/letters to red with a blue backlight glow...

 

I guess that mustang kit has like 100 colors

 

yes captain mercury. you are being captain obvious.

 

Turn the dimmer all the way!!!!

 

Amen to that

 

This is one thing I wouldn't change about the car... the gauges look awesome day or night.

 

yes there are millions of colors.... white, bright red, not so bright red, red, dark red, darker red, black...

 

maybe you should try and take out the gauge cluster and change the bulbs or LED's.

I don't recommended doing this, but hey its your car.

 

I just asked the dealer the same question. The parts person thought that is should be possible but he was unable to determine if the lights were colored by a cover, by dye or if they were LEDs.

 

dont ask the dealer
its probably not worth the headache to change it

 

Some more information about possibly changing the lights can be found

It is not definitive but it gets us started in some direction.

 

My friend just got an 8 and his turn signal lights and some other warning lights are different colors than on my 8. I thought it was really weird. They're both '04s.

 

Thank Gawd.

 

The RX-8 has what you call an EL pannle, this can't be changed. What we have is something like a glowing board. you can't just change it with LED.
