Blue lighted gauges out....
Blue lighted gauges out.... I have grown weary of not being able to see certain parts of my dash gauges (blue). To remedy this I am changing the dsh color to pure white. Cost will be about $29 shipped. The dash will look like this:

$29 is ridiculous for 5 LED's OR bulbs regardless...
I used blue film behind my gauges and white bulbs to get this effect with no hotspots:
Can someone clearify what are "hot spots"? I ordered Led's to make my cluster lighting look white again after ordering GMS's 200Mph Speedo overlay. The led's i bought made it blue which was better then the green it was, but if i could get it back to the stock lighting that would be great.

I did the same thing as you and the hyperwhite LEDs didn't fix anything.
When I had the cluster out I looked through the bulb sockets and it was still blue.
Let me know how those Xenon bulbs work out.

Even the stock cluster will have a blue tint to it guys... That's how the factory got green (crappy yellow light bulbs + blue film on the cluster itself = green) SO the best you can do is get hyperwhite Xenon bulbs (which emit PURE WHITE LIGHT) and your cluster will be white with a blue tint.
The GMS gauges are made to match the factory so you'll get the same thing...

The only hot spot i have is around the oil pressure gauge and slightly around the fuel level gauge.

Going from stock bulbs to the LEDs was a major improvement with my cluster.
However, I have a hot spot around the oil pressure gauge too.
