Does anyone out there regularly change their "my color" display? I hadn't changed mine in over a year and suddenly I"m doing it a lot. I went to a pale winter blue today.

It's blue. I haven't touched it since I got the car in June 2007.
My Color just isn't that big of a deal to me.

Custom blue color I made which is between the stock dark blue and a light blue.

I have a light bluish-green, but I also like the stock green. Only problem with the stock green is that it's hard to see when it's cloudy/raining in the daytime.

Playing with my wife's really makes me want one.

A bit of an older pic, but it hasn't changed. I was using blue before I got my deck, but now I'm basically stuck with it, which I don't mind at all.

Mine's been blue most of the 3+ years. Orange and red sneak in there occasionally though.

Mine was very similar to Darkfire's. I set it to a custom aqua color as soon as I got it and actually never changed it.

Mustangs that come with the Interior Upgrade Package (IUP) have the mycolor changing gauges. If not they just stay green and have only 4 gauges instead of the cluster with 6
.

There's a writeup somewhere that shows you how to install a new cluster with the module for the color changing lights but I'm not sure where I saw it. It can get pretty involved. Another alternative would be to get a set of Roush gauges which are made for cars that don't have the IUP gauges and are indiglo green.

DarkfireGT is the interior lighting master of the group here. Look at the picture he posted. It's no coincidence that all the little green lights in his car are SUPER BRIGHT. I'm sure he'll chime in with a good tip or two on the subject.

I read (I think it was a sticky, idk) over on mustangforums about swapping out the leds in the dash/cluster/cruise control buttons etc. and it seemed very involved and very time consuming. I'd love to do it but don't have the time, patience and would be worried about taking it all apart, especially the cluster.

I usually keep mine green because I like the uniformity (and easier on the eyes I find), but for weekends, I change it to light blue/aqua

I like your pic - DarkFireGT. That's my "my color", too!

I also REALLY like your shifter!!
