    I have all LED's (white) in my AC, Hazard and Demister with Red "on" lights and also white ones in my speed allert (VR) I also have two LED's behind the "executive" badge on the passanger side dash.... Next project is heater controls and cluster when I get my new faces for them.

    Or just take a globe out of your dash, walk into the Autobarn spare parts desk, and ask if they have LEDs to suit, and what colour they're avaliable in. Then, if you want to hunt around for something cheaper, keep the brand and type in mind, and start hunting

    Remembering the actual dials are still green even if you replace the globes, you need to remove the green part on the back.

    I never got around to it so I couldn't say for sure what it is, either scratch and / or peel off I would imagine.

    Don't you fear your car will start to feel a bit like Windows?

    you can buy custom faces for your dials that change the colours, i remember seeing them on ebay

    i'd do it but the level 3 ones are heaps expensive (>$100)

    Are they blue or white coz it looks blue on the screen (the door)? I have stato trim in my VR, I put all glovebox lights (the clear ones) in the doors to replace the Red, and the centre console (green) with white LED's in them. Looks sweet as. Love the luminous gauges too!
