yes i know its been posted already but all of the pictures have been taken off the internet and i was wondering if there is another, picture-laden diy for making the buttons blue instead of orange, and also the speedometer...
thanks in advance

i dont know about your gauges, but gearbox is coming out with a LED kit for the climate controls. i bought a kit from LEDautomotive.com but it was junk. they were very sensitive LEDs and you have to solder, so if you cant do that then you are stuck

i can solder but how are the leds, bright?

no they are not bright. well they are, but not really. since the leds mount sideways, they need to put out tons of lumen to light up the side view which is what you see from the front. Alternative is to install the leds yourself with new wires and actually point them forward. Oh that gives me an idea. Maybe I can make the leds curved so they angle 90 degrees and point forward. thanks! it might work. I am going to experiment once I get my real leds from overseas. The white ones are 5x brighter than anything over here, but the blue all i could find was 10000 mcd so it may not work. if its not bright enough, i won't make a kit for it.

i did mine. easy

take it apart. im nto explaining that. figure it out
remove buttons and ***** (hehe) use a nice to remove the orange tints behind the buttons. (or what ever stock color is)
this will amke them white. then look at where the bulbs are.. remove them and use some diy led knowledge to put in leds.. i was able to easily do this. dunno. u need led knowledge and resistor to do it. was simple fo rme. i havnt done the gauges yet though.
