ok people... i began to think about this and the guages ARE gelled!! so all you have to do is pull your guages out and peel the gel up... if your wondering how to do that take a sharp knife and pry the edge of the gel up[IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG]

hey pimpedcivic, I'm assuming you have the roscolux gels? If so, what color blue did you get? I'm thinking about getting primary blue but not sure how dark it is. In the picture of the finished product on your site, are the lights brighter in person or is it really that dim?

Ok this DIY is not for the bulb "condoms" thats in the DIY section though... between those... who knows probably the LEDs. Between the Gels in this DIY or the LEDs... do whatever you want cause they will last about the same... as for the last question I did not order my gel from the website i listed because I was able to find mine very easily. Im pretty sure if you request it they will send a sample thing of all the colors... at least they did for my school if not... just go with one that sounds about what you want it... (i.e. Turquoise would be lighter than Deep Blue) the last picture in the DIY is a bad picture... they are brighter than that but for just plain blue i would probably go with primary blue or medium blue

Okay so I Changed my gels in my dash but only the center console stuff not my actualy mph and rpm and stuff so i was wondering if anyone actully has taken that apart and see if it could be replaced by a new gel as well or what and if they did picture would be great of that too so i know how to take that out.

Has anyone attempted doing like the cruise/sunroof/mirror light panel, the power windows buttons, and the automatic shift lights in the column? If so can you post something on it? Thanks.
