Question about inter dash lighting...

[Jason99DSM]

I was goin to order some reverse glow gauges, but they are a blue color. all of the accents(A/C,heat dials,defrost button)put out an orange glow. my question is whether or not there is a way to make the light accents not orange. any help would be greatly appreciated

VOTBLINDUB-looks good, I did that to my needles last year and hadn't seen another dsm w/ the leds behind needles. Mine looks just like that

About changing your HVAC and other stuff: Yah, theres a HUGE thread on it w/ like a million pages. I've done it and it isnt that hard. I just went at it one day and as long as your somewhat mechanically inclined it isnt that hard to figure polarity and stuff of the circuit boards. But if you're not that good at electronics and dont sauter you may have probelms because it isnt just like changing lightbulbs. I would take a 5mm blue LED and attach a appropriate resistor, then grind it down smaller w/ a dremel and sauter it in onto the circuit board. Along the way I had to cut away plastic and other parts to make it fit. Goodluck. I just kind of went at it so i dunno what others reccomend or used.

ootalipseoo, nice job with the lights. Just change your ignition light to blue and it'll look sweet.

I have colored bulb covers that are in either blue, red, green, or yellow. i sell them for 5.00 for a pack of 5. They are just like the stock orange ones, and alot easier to install than LED's
let me know if you guys need any!
thanks

You sure you have them for the lights behind the windshield washer and hazard lights etc... Those bulbs are REALLY REALLY small and aren't something ive seen in places like autozone. Also, you got any pics, seems like they might dim the light quite a bit but if there halfway decent i'm sure you could get alot of interest since leds are'nt plug and play.
