Wow guys, I was expecting to see some people not like it. But damn, all these positive comments really make it all worth it. Well, the actual awesomeness by itself made it worth it, but this makes me feel good inside. Thanks. I'm already brainstorming how i'm going to do the center console.

Edit: changed pic to a slightly clearer pic though. Definately not crystal clear though, should have put it on the "rose" mode for close ups like this.

yeah, sweet. I would like to see somebody go from white and end at blue. Or just do all white. Also, think the dealerships would give a hard time doing maint. if they noticed the led's were changed?

Here's mine (bad pics)...

Gauges, left all status lights and both turn signals stock:


Console (dim ):


You can also see that the blue Randode's match the color pretty well. I too have been meaning to rip my console apart to see how to brighten them but my digital multimeter is acting up, that and I've just been too busy.

Hard to tell in that pic, but are the blue buttons also dimmer than they should be? They aren't that bright as orange stock netiher, I am looking to make those blue.

True... jmiller, myself and sciondad are all working on a solution to the dim ones.... we have just all been "working on it" for a few months now I figure one of us will get there sometime this year!

Okay, this might sound retarded or whatever, but I was wondering if it is possible to put multiple colors in each gauge. Like for example in the gas gauge, if the full area could be green while between 3/4 and 1/4 was blue or something and the low fuel area could be red. Something along those lines. I dunno. That is just something that popped in my head, but would probably look absolutly ridiculious.

Not a bad idea, but with the whole fuel gauge being fed with just two leds, it would be difficult. You'd have to make a divider to go between the two to cutoff the light so they don't mix.

I figure someone will see them and want to make theirs the same way. But for now, I'm enjoying the moment. And I can't wait for someone to post theirs so I can beat up on them for copying me
