#282078 ^^^ hahaha thanks broski!

The past few days I've been putting in some work and making a few changes. My climate control has a burnt bulb and the only working one is on the way out too. So I decided to replace both bulbs. I also decided to convert it to amber lighting to make it look like the JDM EG6 climate control. I did this by using the replacement lamp kit method. Here's some pics of the process.

My homie SHG_Felliphe came down to give me a hand. Him and his fresh tighty whitties lol

Getting the climate control out was a lot harder then I thought.
Image

Here's what we used to cut the amber plastic from the repair kit.
Image

I decided to go ahead and do the DIY JDM clock too. Just took a few clips to open up the clock. I used the red plastic for the clock.

Here's the amber strips taped behind the climate control face. Notice how we left the temperature graphic alone.

Image

Replaced the burnt out bulbs with brand new OEM bulbs. Al I did was take off the blue condom.
Image

After replacing the bulbs I put the climate control back together and went to go install it back in the car. Took a few hours but I managed to install it and get it back to proper working order. I'm happy with the results but it's waayyy too much work. Especially for my lazy ass lol. Here's a pic of the climate and clock all done.

#282132 Take out the bezel around the cluster, Its easier access. The green clip behind the climate is a bitch. Get a flat head and pry it out. Take your time and don't rush anything. Try to be as neat as possible.

#282150 There's 2 clips That go to the climate. There's a tannish clip and the green clip that's on back of the climate. The tannish one is pretty easy. Just get s flat head press on the release button and pry it out at the same time. The green clip you can barley see the release button. Same concept though, press on release button while prying out. Here's a pic of the green clip. You can spot the tannish clip right next to it.
