Default FINALLY! Blue LEDs in gauge cluster COOL!

Finally, after years of wanting to, I finally got my gauge cluster the way I wanted it with blue LEDs. Sorry it's just a camera phone pic but will get better pics once I finish putting it all back together....

Looks good, did you just do the guage cluster though??

I ordered the entire kit for the interior lighting. So i can swap all the lights out to blue, goes along great with my amp. Since it lights up blue on the Rockford Fosgate logo and the Camaro SS headunit that i got that's blue as well.

Thanks for the compliments everyone! I actually just bought the 194 blue LEDs from Advance and put them in. Also, I'll try to get more pics of it as it's been raining almost all day here.

those medium to deep blue LED's are harder than hell to see at night, and they don't light up the red needle worth a damn, so its hard to see anything.

That's why I got the 'White' LEDs, they have a bluish tint to them, much like the c5 gauge clusters.

Blue IMO is not as good as hyper white (blueish white light).

Check out this thread: https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearanc...ml#post8221611

No hotspots or anything. Very clean. I love it... and so do many other people.
