You can, I'm not sure how hard it is, as I have not attempted it.

There is a guide (for EF/EL though) here: http://www.fordmods.com/forums/documents.php?doc=25 that may tell you how to do it.

The clock will have a backlight. I made a thread on this a long time ago in a forum far far away:

Changing the globe colour/changing the tint in the clock unit (if it can be pulled apart with ease, I suspect it can be) would do the trick.

pull the clock out and change the globe in the back or paint it

well ill do the clock this weekend im am interested about the cluster but i'd like to make the needel glow and change the standard yellowish glow to a bright white glow not sure how tho is it just change the globes or is it more ?

^^the cluster has a yellow/orangeish coloured filter on the back of the faces so just changing the globes wont be enough. im not really sure if its possible to get rid of the orange filter. best to get some custom faces made up, this sticker place in bendigo here have started making cluster faces, im gonna get some silver circles ones made up eventually that have black numbers and increments but glow blue at night (hopefully with layers! ie. black on top, blue underneth!) i was gonna try and put blue led's behind the cluster now for the time being, not sure how good that will work!

also iv got no idea how you'd make the needles glow!!

cheers

im guessing that i can just get a small led and put it behind the needel to give it a glow effect or even make up a clear needel with an led in it and just wire it in to the cluster so it come on when u put the parkers on .
