i'm pretty new at this, so please bear with me, i own a 2007 lincoln mark lt. i hate the green backlighting on the instrument panel and hvac controls. i installed the nav. radio from the lincoln mkx which has white backlighting. i really like the white. i was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to change the backlighting in my truck (or the f150, same setup)?

 

My guess is you will have to take out the green plastic on the inside or just get some aftermarket overlay gauges.

 

thanx, i think im gonna remove the green plastic. sandpaper you think?

 

i wouldn't....gonna scratch it. i'd try some colored leds, on my 07 f150 there are only a couple bulbs in the gauge cluster, the rest of the dummy lights are leds. check this thread of may help ya

I don't think I'd use sandpaper. You could do some damage with that.

 

No it depends on how much time you have and what you skill is.I sanded mine down and replaced my bulbs with white wide angle leds and it turned out great.

 

PICS
lol

 

yeah...some pics would be great. i'm not that talented with stuff like that so i probably will try something like nail polish remover and a q-tip.

 

ok....got the green to leave. the acetone and q-tip was taking FOREVER so my friend (ford tech) used a sanding tool with a buffer brush on the end instead of a sanding brush....took only five minutes. i now have to find the white led lights to put in. when i do, ill post pics.

 

white leds finally came in...hopeing to get em installed this weekend and finally post pix.
