Well to tell you the truth the pic is a little dark, you can see the red lines and needle from the RPM guage clearly. I tryed white LED's before I put these in, The light just didn't look "clean" enough for me IMO!! But being only 3 LED's back there you could get 3 of every colour and try out what you like the best!!

If Your radio is stock, I think its time for an upgrade, tons of options out there!!
As for your clock can't be done, unless you replace the whole thing!!

Hey 97 Limited... How did you change the cigarette lighter trim bulb? The one that has the green condom thing.... It smaller than a #74 and I couldn't seem to pull it apart from the holder, which made me believe it was one piece...

if you give the LEDs a good rub down with some sand paper there is definantly a big difference in the amount of light they disperse. I know this because I changed out the ones in my keyboard to blue and when i turned them on there were three distinct blue circles on my ceiling..lol...After that I took the keyboard apart again and I sanded the LEDs down with some sandpaper and the light dispersed quit nicely....

also, if i'm not mistaken i just recently replaced the climate control with 194 Sylvania bulbs...did you just use a differenty size or did you get them confused?
I'm probably missing something because I don't see how you used 194s for the PIAA lights either...don't those take H3 bulbs??
