    Default Changing the Color of Dial Faces

    I would like to change the faces on the instument cluster of my bimmer. Does anyone know of a company that makes these. I'm looking at white faces with black number that would light up orange, like the originals at night. I saw this on a 1993 M5 at last years car auction here in Toronto and thought it looked great. Any help in this matter would be appriciated.

    a great diy way, if you have a scanner is
    to just take apart your cluster

    www.bmwe34.net shows you how
    and then scan in your faces, photoshop
    them to whatever u want, new numbers anything
    then print em out, and stick em on =]

    that's basically what all the "pro" shops do anyway

    Hi Bahnstormer. I could see that working if you used a good quality "arty" paper. I might give it a try sometime. I have 20 UV LED's here and I'd love to have a blacklit dash. The only thing is, if I remove the stock dial faces and stick my own on, would the colour spread be uniform or would I have dark & light areas on the dials? (that wouldn't look good!)

    Cheers,

    Shaun
