GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Hello all,New to the group here I pick up my baby tonite , a 2003 Vibe.....I love the vehicle overall for as many times as I made the dealer let me test drive it LOL the only thing I was wondering is if you can change the color of the gauges ((speedometer etcc)) from red to possibly blue or something easier for me to see?? I didnt know whether to post that question here or in the Electronic Mods cuz I dont know wheter it is electronic or just a cover/film in front of lights or something to make em red....Any help would be appreciated and I look forward to much chatting about my new Vibe Thanks!!Colleen

Welcome to genvibe! Congrats on the new (to you) Vibe! There's a thread about this in the Audio/Electronics section. http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=26632Enjoy!

It's not the easiest thing to do on this car, but it is doable. I had my 02 Civic all switched out to Blue but they offered kits for the car. I actually got the car partly because the guages were red/white. Love the look. The 03 is a little different as it is all red. Here is the 05+P.S.-I wish it was 67 degrees again!Civic w/ Burnt Orange GaugesPost Surgery Blue/Red

hey colleen, welcome to the family!Quote, originally posted by VibeGurl »...only thing I was wondering is if you can change the color of the gauges ((speedometer etcc)) from red to possibly blue or something...that's a good question. i've got an o4 with red/white gauges. so was o3 the only year with all red gauges?

Thanks Everybody Yep the gauges are all red in the 03 im getting. it was hard to see during the daytime, but at night it was okay......I can do a switch by myself if I could find a kit or if its just a red film peel it off....or find a different "vinyl" for changing the color..... I really dont want to pay someone else to do it LOLI know we do gauge cluster mods on our imports that we have (integra and civic) so I was hoping it was easy to do on the new Vibe baby

I'm pretty sure the Vibe/Trix uses LED lighting behind the gauges unlike the typical #24 mini bulbs. So if you search around here you can get some info. I would assume the gauges have the film over them as well to help with the light.

Welcome to the family!
