These pics does not come out that great. It does hot show the true white light and red color. Notice the needles are not that bright? Well last night I stay until 2 AM in the morning to make a glow red hot. Now it's look awesome.
It costed me almost $400 for parts and the hours spent on this project is priceless! I have to buy individual super cool white LEDs ($3 a pcs and I need at least 80 pcs. of them) and soldering on a PCB then mounted behind the guages after cutting out some plastic molding inside the instrument cluster.
The results look better than the LEXUS, BMW, and MERCEDES!

yea i did search dude, but i didnt know what to,
i tried LED guages,
then just guages, and after seeing none of the links work, cept that blue pic of that interior blue but not the guages, i just gave up. mostly because i want like the DARK BLUE like VW style blue, not the REALLY BRIGHT CCRAZY blue.

just do that, but use BLUE LEDs. the gauges have filters on them so if you used white it would still look blue. so if you used blue LED then they would be extremely dark blue.

there is another link. just look at the HVAC knobs...is that the color you are looking for? those are blue LEDs behind the factory blue filters.

do our cars have something like this to?
