I swore there was a thread on here somewhere but i couldnt find it so sorry if im double posting about the same thing. anyways....
i originally had it red because my ext. color is red but red isnt a good color choice unless u have the perfect material to use for it, so i changed to blue since my headunit is blue...

what the original piece was after i popped it out:

cut the green wire on the clock wire harness so that it would not dim when the headlights are on. Yea I agree that red is not a good color choice for the clock unless you have the right material... it's coming out orange or a bit purple-ish.

yes - the green wire is the dimmer.
The only trouble I had with the red clock was seeing it the daytime - other than that it was nice and red.

Is it red as red? or pinkish/orangy/purply? If it is what material did you use? Its the combination of the green clock display and the red material that makes it not perfectly red.

i used a yellow divider tab and that made mine a nicer looking green. more like a neon green. it goes well because my light color choice is green

I used colored film paper and about 3 layers - canceled out the green totally - was Red red.

Hey how did you get that little clock piece out?

um just kinda knocked it out with the handle side of a screwdriver i think. i actually dont really remember how i took it out, just like push it out or hit it out from the outside. see where i show the clock from the outside, try to knock it off from that side.
