Blue LEDs, super white LEDs, or Ultra red LEDs behind the guages?

Guys I need your opinion. What color of LEDs show I put behind the guages, super blue, super white, or ultra red LEDs?

I order a bunch of super blue, super white, and ultra red LEDs from Ledtronics and still undecided which one to use. I know that red color ( like the red needle) does not show red if you shine the blue LED behind it.

I want to have a good contrast like super bright red need and super white text.

Any thought would be appriciated.

And I don't like indiglow gauge.

I say super white. And post lots of pics when you are done.

Can you post the link and specs on the bulbs you bought?

You can buy these LEDs from Brevan Electronics in NH (http://www.brevan.com/main.htm). There is a minimum order of $50.
Talk to Allison Kittredge, she is the inside sale rep.

I think that you ought to try the different combos all in one dash and give us the pix results! The dash would look a little confused, but we could come to a consensus for you!
