How can I or does some one sell a product that I can make my gauges ( speedo, tach, etc. ) light up blue instead of green...........

You can try putting blue bulb covers on your 194 cluster bulbs - but it will glow more of a blue-green than solid blue. The green is actually a transparant film on gauge face backside - the bulbs are clear. Yo ucan scrape away the green some, then use the blue bulbs to get blue - or have someone make you custom gauge faces.
We had a guy on CVN make use custom gauge faces for a group buy, I can PM yo uhis email and if you're willing to take full color, high-res scans of your gauge faces he can make you new ones, and make any other alterations you desire.

That is one of the first things I tried doing when I bought mine. I looked into www.speedhut.com where I have purchased reverse euro glo gauges from for my past vehicles. They have Model Development Program http://www.speedhut.com/screamed.asp , if we can get 25 commited people they will make them. I'm not sure if someone would have to give up their speedo for some time to allow them to make perfect copies. Might be worth looking into. They have all different types of colors and they will add custom text, logos and such.

If your interested in starting a program for your car email us sales@speedhut.com
