I have just seen a cool picture on the internet of a car with blue backlit dials (ie. spedo and rev counter). I know for a fact that they aint factory standard

How would i achieve this, they r just LEDs, would they jus replace the bulbs that r already there??

Thanx very much!

They were probably indiglo gauges.  You can get them for most cars nowadays.

hey j.a.kelly
Your first coclusion may have been correct. You can purchas LED bulbs in the same size (168)as the backlight bulbs. They have better clarity because the bulbs are not colored.
