Holy crap, he's STILL working on it. It's been like 3 years now or something. Talk about persistent!

Hope he succeeds. I'd buy one.

Its a LOT of work. I've never attempted the gauge cluster but even the climate and audio controls, you couldn't pay me enough to do it again.

Do you have a write up? I'm thinking of changing mine to blue . . .

I don't have a write up but its not that hard, just a pain in the ass. All you have to do is take out the controls and replace the bulbs with blue LEDs and have a resistor in there.

Its a LOT of work. Lots of tedious soldering. Ive done this before, and will never do it again. If I was charging, I would charge $100 per bulb, thats how much tedium is required.

What resistor strength do you use, and I assume you wire it in series with the blue LED?
