These are the same color as the rest of my gauges, my phone just picked up a little more blue than what you see in person.

And finally, the whole cockpit.



All in all. If the bulbs last, I find the lights to be very clean looking and a worthy mod for someone looking to make a pretty drastic change very quick. Hit me up if you need my old bulbs. Or part numbers for the new ones.

can you post the part numbers for all the different led's? I swapped out to clear bulbs instead of the factory green ones, but I'm really liking the look of your pics more.

sure!
for my set up specifically, I used superbrightleds.com

for the 194s (1 in each pod on the A pillar, 3 behind my main cluster, and 2 behind the inclinometer) I used WLED-x5

http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...ini-wedge.html

for the climate control

I used 74-xHP3 on the same page. It was barely too wide, so i took a file to it and it fit right in.

and for the dome light and cargo light I used

3022-xHP4

note: HP stands for highpower, and you will want those for the brightest results.

Wow, the dash, etc., looks great! Nice choice, man.... and so.....those are like a soft white?

I've been really busy... couldn't remember if you'd said, or not..... "Do these^^^ LED's for the dome and cargo have a really wide range of light?..... or, while very bright, they're more like flashlight on your shoulders?" They sure LOOK like they work great! I planned on just ordering them, ....... but got overwhelmed lately,... meh, hahahaha..

ANYWAYYYYYYY, the rig looks well lit, man! Can't wait to order some of these... (and you used white for the domes AND the dash/ac-heater bezel, right?)

I believe the bulb color i chose was "cool white"
I believe they do have a wide range due to the fact that they are high power LEDs, and I made a point to purchase bulbs with multiple leds, in order to get the light to spread out as much as possible. I would say, it is not like having a flashlight over my shoulder. and again, all lights were picked in "cool white"
