i've recently changed my speedo gauge lights etc to blue using the how to sticky(very helpful-thanks), however, the gauges are not very blue or bright. theyr'e more a pale blue/white.
does anyone know why this could be and how i could get it really bright like yours are on the pictures. i replaced my original bulbs with blue side light bulbs, 194 i think. would led's have been brighter perhaps? thanks. -------------------- imghttp://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n153/LI...KINGy2j/sig.jpg[/img]

I didnt use LED. i've ordered some of the matrix leds now so i'll give them a go. i wish mine came out as good as yours, perhaps i just got some crap bulbs. also, is paint the only way to get your needles red? -------------------- imghttp://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n153/LI...KINGy2j/sig.jpg[/img]

Yea let me know how the LEDs goes. I've got some myself, but couldn't be bothered installing it. If it is better I'll change them. I'm not sure about the needle, but it should work.
