Default LED Gauges (ghetto style haha)

Ok so I finally got the 97-98 Camaro Gauge Cluster that works in 97 LT1 Birds in today. I start taking everything apart and get to putting in the LEDs and come to realize I can only find 3 red LEDs when I need 5. So I look through everything in my garage and can't find anymore so instead I just threw 2 white ones in there and ordered 5 more red ones just in case haha. Anyways here are the pics, from the looks of it the red is gonna be badass so I can't wait to have it completely done! I know the Pontiac gagues come red already but the way the needles light up in the camaro gauges with leds is awesome!

Thats looks like its going to be really bright. Can you snap some pics of it further away to tell how bright from a distance it is.

BlacknredSS: did you put white behind there? My white LEDs made it turn blueish and of course blue plus red makes purple....I'm changing everything to red I just wanted to know why.
