Blue LED's in dash

Who was it that put blue LED's in their gauges? I am trying to find that pic and any indication of how hard it is to put them in.

I put the idea of the gauge ring and the blue LED light together.
and finally taken a few pics of it tonight. Here they are:
My gauge pic 1
My gauge pic 2

I re-installed the top bulbs on the left and the top right bulb is the one that I taken from the back coz I need to see how fast I'm going plus that bulb has a blue bracket on it so it will cast a bluish green which is perfect.

As for the install, it is relatively easy. The toughest part for me is to pull the cruise and dimmer switch out.

canadian people use kilometers......I personally think the reverse indiglo look a little better...but those are still safe..
Anyways question here.....how much of the other green can I get out of my interior for those who have been inside the insides
Checklist, what can be done ?
1) cruise control butto, and dimmer switch
2) the controls for the moonroof
3) the climate control
if any of this other shit could be changed to a blue LED or even better a clear white, I think that would be tight

Was the dimmer setting on full when you took this picture? I like it alot, but I was just wondering becuase of the darker areas.

It was about 3/4 to full... The darker areas will be there coz there is a small bulb around there that I took out as it will throw off the blue with the original green...

I love it alot... I'm going to try amber color later.

Hey Excreman, do you have any updated pics of your car with the clear bumpers lenses install? I have the exact same car and I'm thinking of buying them.
