Yves, I LOVE the last one with the blue tach!!!!!!!!! Can the fuel and temp also be blue as well please?

Does the instrument dimmer still work after you make the change? I like to be able to make my dash lights brighter when I have my headlights on in the day (during heavy rain for example).

Now I'm, going to have to change out all the bulbs in the surrounding dash panels and HVAC controls to match the blue!!!!!!

BTW, are you considering manufacturing a bolt-in kit for us less technically-minded folk?

Cheers,

Yes in fact I am working on a bolton kit!

In fact I just wanted to try it and see if it works but as it looks better than I thought and

I've got already some inquiries from many sides I decided to get it available for everyone.

Just trying right now to get the right stuff together for a reasonable price.

The Kit will come with everything you need including a little "how-to-do-it" manual

As long as you don't have 2 left hands (OK if you are lefthanded though ) you'll be able

to install it.

Fuel and temp can be made blue too!

And YES again...the dimmer will still be working!

The first one's asking will be the first one's on the list to be able to get the kit.

(still can say no if you dont want it anymore )

Blue Greetings,

Yves

Stocky...if it counts, I've been an "asker" since the end of January...but I'll accept whatever "place in line" you put me :meek: I'd be inclined to be a 100% "True Blue" for all "normally displayed" digital areas of our dash (i.e. RPMs, Speedo, Mileage/Trip, Temp, Fuel). Not so much concerned with the "idiot lights" within our dash that only display if there's a problem (ex. seat belt, engine check, etc.) -- in fact, for safety/visual reasons, probably better if the idiot lights could remain their OEM colors...

But *definitely* put me on the list to get a kit. I own a left and a right hand , soz the DIY approach is acceptable for me...

Thanks,
Dave

Since I coined the phrase "TRUE BLUE" I think I should get in line to for this mod. Keep us informed of your progress stocky.
