Oh I know there is and I much prefer the amber. Blue looks ricey to me and your eyes are more sensitive to blue light under low light conditions which in my experience, causes eye fatigue after long periods......

in my opinion, blue is classy, amber is old. go ahead and sit in a new g and tell me that you dont love the color.

I remember a DIY for this with pictures and everything. It was pretty detailed.

*edit I don't think this is exactly what you are trying to do, but it should help: https://g35driver.com/forums/body-in...-04-coupe.html

what you posted Tanner is the exact process to remove the steering wheel, steering wheel controls for all year coupes. I even believe the same for sedans. he should be able to use that without a problem...OP it takes all of 30 mins to remove the steering wheel and airbag. 2 TORX screws on side of wheels....pop off the black/willow caps witha flat head. take of the 2 bolts...airbag should come lose. Pop off the 2 connections in the back of the airbag. should be yellow and orange. read the DIY on the correct way to do it.

Last but not least undo the TORX Bolts on the steering wheel after the airbag is remove with the steering wheel still bolted on so that you dont have to try and break them lose with the steering wheel already off the car.

after broken lose then you can remove the center nut holding on the steering wheel..GIVE ALITTLE wiggle and it should pop right off.

got mine installed today...need to adjust the accel/resume switch..





gauge cluster isnt done yet because im waiting for my nismo cluster to get finished up. will also finalize the AC display once we can determine how to convert an 03-04 AC Display to blue since there are no light and no LEDS
