    I followed suit of mercuryed and went with white (Love it!). I didn't go as far as he did with adding single leds behind the gauge needles which down the road I will. I also went white on the lower gauges and the shift indicator.

    I can see why the needles wouldn't show up well with the blue lighting. Mercuryed, did you add a single red led behind the needles by chance on the blue gauge cluster?

    I went with blue before along with the blue in my aeroforce gauge and shifter. It didn't work out to good. The light wasn't evenly distributed, there are six bulbs in your instrument cluster so I ended up going with the 6k white in two style bulbs to get the maximum light distribution. A lot of test and trial but now it looks perfect.

    When you get a minute Levi, can you post some picts. FBM is getting ahold of mine in Sept sometime. I'd like to see how yours turned out.

    Thanks man!

    As a reminder to anyone who wants to change color. You will need to remove the gauge faces themselves and sand or scrape off the green filter coating on the back side of them.
