LED Gauges

This weekend I got a chance to install my led gauge kit from Ledgauges.com
The install was easy, and I'm very pleased with the results. I went with the hyperwhite kit, so I could see redline and the needles.

Thats what i like about it, theyre blue, and unlike the blue kit you can see ur needles still!

EDIT: try to seal up your top part you got some light leakage.. oh and how well does your dimmer work after this?

That isn't light leakage, it's the reflection on the cluster surround.

Is there a way to get the blue look while keeping the needles? Maybe a blue-tinted incandescent bulb? But do those also not emit any other color but blue, like a blue LED?
