350zPabs Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Hi everyone. I am thinking of changing the colour of the silver gauge surrounds in the picture below but I don't know how to remove them. Can you remove them as they are or do you have to take out the centre column and take the gauge pod apart? Cheers Paolo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A9H-RX Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) Pretty straight forward taking them out. In terms of colour change, never seen it done.. I'm sure the LED's would be soldered onto the board.. Edited December 23, 2013 by A9H-RX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350zPabs Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 Sorry I meant changing the colour of the plastic silver surrounds on the gauges not the LED colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A9H-RX Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I believe they are glued to the centre trim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluke Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 They come out quiet easily, just press on them gently from the front and they will pop out. BTW - The ones in my 2003 were plastic, the later ones are aluminium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350zPabs Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 Thanks for the info. I tried pushing in from the front but they seem to have lugs coming of the side to hold it in place. I used a small flat head screw driver to try and get them off aswell but they still wont move. I don't know what to try next, maybe take the pod apart?

Vlad Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Mask everything and just spray them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350zPabs Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 That's sounds like a better plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinyflier Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 This might be an instance where Plasti Dip is your friend! Spray them in place and if you don't like the result - peel it off! David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350zPabs Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 Cheers David that Plasti Dip looks good especially if you can peel it off if you don't like the look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
