As for your TT, since you have the Greddy you can make it glow red. I don't know how well it will match though. Anyway, put it in the voltage display mode and set your warning levels backwards. For example, 15v for the low warning, and 10v for the high. That way it will always be in it's warning mode, and shining red.

Hey, if you do this be sure to post a pic to show us how it looks. I have been unable to try it yet, because, well, I'm in Iraq.

any art supply store, craft store, or even the crafts section of Walmart or Target.

If you can find an orange paint pen I'm sure that would work, I just couldn't find one when I bought these.

To use red and yellow to make amber, you just need to have half the bulb in each. It doesn't have to be precise -- just paint the base color and then add some stripes of the other color. All of the bulbs are diffused by the switches, so as long as red and yellow light is both coming out, the switches will appear amber.

I would imagine that the IC switch is the same as the drivers side power window switch....

I just did most of my lights (just waiting on a couple red bulbs, and turned out awsome. I couldnt believe the difference that it makes. The power window switch had to be changed....I will post pictures when the job is complete
