is there a green filter behind the guages that can be removed? I want to install all white LEDs behind there to illuminate the guage font, well, white..lol

any ideas?

 

LEDs are a bad idea. The illumination is too direct. From pics I've seen, it looks uh...odd. Your best best is to use just clear bulbs and place a section of a mild blue color gel over all of it.

 

yea...the filter is on the back of the gauges...i tryed to remove it but failed....i have a first gen...not sure about 2nd gens....unless you take the gauge apart...you cant unstick the little filter...their might be a way to...but i coudlnt get it....

 

hmm, I wonder i JamzCL has an idea. there are pics of his guages pretty pulled apart on his cardomain page.

LED's are not a good idea? I may try superwhites then..

 

i have those blue LED wedge type bulbs in mine.. works fine. But i there's always one that burns out fast...but it's worth it. Buy them off ebay, bulb # is 168. You'll need 4 of them.

Oh yea...when you get them, if the head of the bulb is ROUND, sand it down, so it's flat. That way the light will spread out and have no hot spots...

 

what of the tiny bulbs (I think there is three of them..)? I wonder if LEDs are available for them...
