Clock? No, I don't think so. The clock has an LCD display and is a little more advanced than the ac console. Don't know if anyone has changed the color of the clock yet, but who knows.

Buy 3mm LEDs in whatever color you want. Desolder the old LEDs that are behind the A/C and defroster buttons, then put yours in and solder them. I am selling BLUE and RED 3mm LEDs if anyone is interested. email me: stetsonjoe@yahoo.com

If you have like broken toy or any electronic that is useless.. take it apart... goto radioshack and buy a soldering iron. it's only 10 bucks... and some solders... Just practice it.. it's very simple...

Also, you think I could have enough room to mount this in the middle of the console, and if I did, would the light spread evenly across the console?

Sorry. Just install 2 tubes,or just hold till monday i'll install the second tube and let you know if it's good or not. P.S. Sigaret Lighter will not change the color after the installation...You have to change the sig lighter LED... If you buy the extra tube you can take one led out and replace the siglighter led.

Masrod Member 2002 Toyota Celica Joined: Jun 2003 Posts: 36 San Francisco, CA	after you change the color of the center console, is it possible to change the color of the clock from green to blue? and could someone go over one more time how to install the 6" flexible mini tube in the center console.
