Default Who knows how to make a gauge cluster light up blue?

I need someone that knows how to change the led bulbs in my gauge cluster. I want all my lights to be blue even the odometer, hvac, headlight ****, tcs, foglights, Brake light,ses light ect. If you know how to do this pm me with a price including bulbs. I will package all my stuff up and ship it if i have too.

I have seen that many times. With 197 post I would figure u would know how to read! I don't want to do it myself! (I'm not asking what bulbs do I need). I want to pay someone that has done it before to do it to mine. Also if ur saying people in there would do it for me.?. I'm not going to pm people asking if they will do it for me. If someone wants to do it and make a little money then that's what will happen. If not then I guess I will have to find some time and do it myself.

The Speedo/Tach, 4 lower gauges, brights indicator, and Blinkers are all 194 bulb replacements. All the indicators in the top corners are LED's built right into the board. Someone would have to solder new LED's in. Also, the stock overlay is where the color comes from. So if the indicator is colored red, and you put a blue LED's behind it, it won't like up a true blue.

The odo is a piece of cake. Just desolder the 3 SMD LED's and solder in 2 3mm LED's.

As far as the HVAC, light switch, etc; those all have to be custom wired into your car. I understand you're looking to have someone do this for you, but bottom line is, once the parts are returned to you, you'll still have to cut the harness and custom wire in the new lights.

with a stock cluster they will light up blue. If you take the cluster apart and hold the overlay up to the light you can see that they have a blue tint to them. He wants to change all the other lights to blue as well, but they all have red / orange tints to them. So I would imagine if you put a blue bulb behind them you wouldn't get a true blue.

If you REALLY don't want to do it we can do it for you. You can mail the stuff to me or have ssteven@6LE do it for you, pretty sure he is close by.

My bad... But in my defense it did seem like you had no idea what to do or where to go, and not so much that you were just wanting it done for you. Best of luck

What sucks about it though is the fact that you can change every bulb in the whole car to either LED's or HID's except freakin clock on the radio.

I don't know off the top of my head, but watch closely when you start the car. ALL the stock lights are white bulbs, so whatever color they light up, is the tint of the stock overlay

Oh anything's possible. It just depends on how creative you are and how much you wanna work for it.
