Very concise there Julian. I guess the Indiglo gauges are still available.

open your dash, and swap all the lights for blue ones

Here is a link to a guy that did all blue lights. No write up but pretty cool looking stuff.

its possible, but not worth the risk of screwing up your instrument cluster.

ask me how i know......


also - it's not easy. It's quite difficult, not necessarily in the complexity... but in the ease of significantly screwing something up. Just don't do it, it's not worth it.

Yeah white is the only color that I would change it to if I ever decided to do it.
