Either shutter speed is really slow on your cam, or did you put two hyper whites and a blue in the center of the lcd screen?

No the Clock LED'S are all blue. I had all 3 LED'S in for the clock, but it was too dim. The clock LED looked as dim as the rest of the center console. The 3rd picture on this post shows how dim the console is. I guess the reason why the clock LEDS were so dim was because the 3 LEDS were drawing too much power. So I removed the middle LED so that the 2 on the sides would draw more power. The 2 on the sides got much brighter. The 2 LEDS in the clock are actually blue and not white as seen in pic. The pics just came out funny, but trust me, they're beautiful blue in person.

There is a fix now for the 3 dim LED's and the other dim buttons. Then you will be lown away with blue.

This is exactly what I want to do to all of the LEDs in my dash and door handles, but I lack the ***** and skills to tackle this on my own plus I don't feel like dishing out tons of cash to have someone professional do it.
