Hey guys, by popluar demand, here is how i changed the colour of my clock from green to blue. Remove Dash Remove Clear plastic face of cluster(8 screws cant be down till you undo -->)and remove top panel (5 screws)(as described elsewhere). I found that you can remove the clock unit itself by carefully removing the center part and strips of the face. Then from behind the cluster push on the 4 pins that hold it in. SEE PHOTO Bend back the faces carefully and slide the unit itself out between the two main faces. Once the unit is out its easy! Pull the black front piece off by poking the 4 clips on the back through their holes. SEE PHOTO Watch out for the buttons to fall out. SEE PHOTO then push out the green lens and replace with lens of colour of your choice, im my example blue. Here's a 'unfocused' photo of my finished product. SEE PHOTO Simply re-install all components and there you have it. And here are some random speaker shots Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
