Default Did the LED gauge conversion last night

Looks great in blue. I couldn't find a video on how to do it so I made one to help the next guy.

ah this is pretty sick. did you want to keep the rpm and gas meter amber? can you change the color if you wanted to?

The factory gauge face has a filter on it that does not allow blue light to shine thru so the gas and RPM must stay amber (or red) unless you buy a new gauge face for $$$. I thought of doing multiple colors but decided to go with all blue. The blue looks great and they are bright! I'm very pleased with how they turned out.

I didn't think about it until now but I could have looked to see if anyone sells a plcc-2 socket. Then I could have easily swapped colors without soldering them. That would be the ultimate setup.
