Gauge cluster leds
So im swapping my interior lights since my interior is all out.
I have a trans am so my gauge cluster has the odd color film.
Now what color do i get behind there? Do i get red? Or do i get white?
I know you need green and blue for the turn signal lights and the high beam indicator.. But i might do red for the turn signals as well
I thought about swapping everything to blue. But looks depressing. Red looks more menacing and "makes ya feel like your in a fighter jet" quote unquote.
Ill be doing all the dash lights in red, the map, dome, glove box, and plate lights in white...
But i cant decide what i want to do with the doors, and steering wheel control lights. Im thinking red since they are always on and i dont wanna throw off the flow.
Thoughts and opinions? Pics are welcome and encouraged even though ive see a few here and there. Its always noce to see more
Thanks!!

I'm not entirely familiar with the birds but my advise would be to get red LEDs for the cluster backlighting since there is a red film behind the gauges. If you get white LEDs I would be worried about getting a pink color out of them. If the turn signals are green then get green LEDs, otherwise they won't look right through the green film.
As far as steering wheel controls go, unfortunantly there is no drop-in replacement LED for them. You're stuck with stock yellowish lighting there unless you solder in your own LEDs (which shouldn't be too difficult, but I still haven't done it yet).

i will suggest you to , make the back lights of colour red, the dash board will also contain the red leds, the right and left signs will look good in yellow light. you also use the speedo meter in blue led light.
