Brighten up your dash!

I got this idea from a forum online can't remember where, anyways I didn't like the idea of not having the dash with that red/orange glow so I did something a little diffrent, and sanded down the light defuser.

The pictures should be pretty self explanatory, just take off the gauge cluster cover, take the two screws that hold the light defuser in place out, and the defuser pops out of the 'holder' for the defuser. Just sand off the black out area so that it's all entirely red/orange and you'll keep the stock color but MUCH MUCH brighter. I included a shot with the gps/headunit to give you an idea of how much brighter it is granted all the pics are from a cell phone camera.

Anyways, all I used was a phillips, and some sandpaper:





















If anyone get's a shot before sanding off the blackout area that would be great I didn't, sorry about that, but you'll see what I'm talking about when you pull out the defuser.
