Default Tryin to find a particular gauge overlay...

I'm on the hunt for a silver gauge overlay with blue illumination.... Anyone know of any? I like the Macewen style but they illuminate the color of the factory bulbs. Is there any out there that illuminates factory bulbs to blue? Or do i have to change the bulbs to blue LEDs

I'm pretty sure you would have to change out the lighting.

brian i had this in my bookmarks, not silver, but i think it will light up blue, and cheap to boot. IIRC it is just a sticker, but with a TA bezel it should look similar to the macewen's

I already have those LEDs in my car just not in the gauges. The blue LEDs in my a/c controls, shifter light, etc. just aren't as bright and are very dim and someone told me that there are overlays with a blue film to produce the blue illumination. guess i'll just have to deal with the dim gauges....
