So, if I read this right, then el wire is going to look better because it is more even? If that is the case, then why hasn't a diy been made? If I go that route, then I guess that I can make one.

Is this a pretty good deal for el wire?

I will be doing my HVAC center console controls, as well as the window controls and the roof/mirror/cruise control lights. I am making them all blue and putting a red light on the Cruise switch instead of the green.

I used 11,000 on my Angel eyes and that was pretty bright. I am not worried about the HU as it will be changed eventually. And my needles will be red.

But my concern is for the odometer on the dash. It will still be that orange color it is now unless someone knows how to change it out?

nah its too hard. You can pull off the light diffuser and try to clear it, but mine broke. Try and scrape the paint off it so its clear instead of using solvents. Without it, you can basically see right through the lcd. If you clear that piece and put it back, then you could try and put leds behind it. I just left mine off. There's no real need to see at night anyway.

What if I removed the plastic cover that has the orange on it ( I assume that is what it is) Then put a piece of colored film over it?

won't work. you will still see whatever kind of lighting you put, like the shape of a bulb. This plastic piece diffuses the light. You have to use the plastic, so try scraping off the orange on it and replace the piece.
