5000MCD LED's, Hard to Install? Options

[celiracer]

Hi guys. Well i'm wanting to make my guage cluster all red but leave the needles white. And i will be getting a boost, oil pressure, and a EGT guage for my a-piller. I have a few questions to be answered.
1. Should i get black faced guages? Or white faced?
2. Does anyone know if i painted the numbers and everything red with a type of paint and got bright white bulbs would that work?
And 3. with the guages in the pillar how could i match them with my guage cluster if every guage that i find has orange needles?

Also wanting to redo my climate control, and all my little bulbs to red. How hard are they to install? I can't get into the how-to.

you can also wire 4 leds together and solder the ends to the bulb locations....

neg----led-----led-----led-----led-----pos

something like that

each led will get roughly 3-4 volts and you wont have to mess with resistors.

basically
leds work by cascading electrons over a chemical or something like that....
too many electrons and it gets too hot inside
it will start glowing a wierd color then die

if you use enough in row like above, they each work together and slow down the flow of electrons
