When I bought my OHC I was told the filter on it was the blue filter. I'm not questioning his truthfullness, but I'm wondering if anyone here has modded the display for a different color.

My console has the blue filter but I want the display to look more blue

This is what my display looks like **Not my console**

It's not quite the blue I have in the rest of my truck

So I'll probably get made fun of or whatever. I don't care. I like things to match

 

i ran into this same thing when i put mine in. the blue isn't blue. it's a green with a blue tint. i even went as far as painting the lcd screen with some clear blue model paint. didn't help one bit. i bought some extra blue filters, but i don't think they are going to do much more either.

 

I wonder if someone (like Jp7) knows how to actually change the LCD displays color.

It's not a huge problem, but I'd like to know

 

maybe. be prepared to pay a ton if so. he does great work, but too rich for a lot of people.

 

I have a spare blue filter if you want to try and mod it

 

Heh..

why is my name always thrown around when it comes to changing colors.

its kind of funny actually.

You can use a different LCD display. You need to do some research here and understand which pins drive which values. This is controlled by a microchip.

This is a big task, but not un-doable.

 

So it doesn't seem like there is a "change this and plug it back in" solution.

Food for thought

 

I seriously doubt it.

I think this works in the reverse way as the 04 and up odometers (which you can change backlighting color on)

I suppose if someone had one they wanted to donate to me I could open it up and look.

 

SOMEONE SEND JP7 AN OHC NAOW!!!!!

Keep us posted if you get one

 

Does anyone know what color the display is without the filter?

I can find out when I get home in about a hour. For some reason I'm thinking its white.

 

make a cheap mold of the current green filter out of clay, then lay a piece of blue plastic in it and heat it to melt it to the shape. Maybe you could make something that way. I don't know

The display is green or green/blue without the filter

 

Thanks
