Odometer LEDs Ok I have searched for a long time and still can’t find a detailed write up of how to change the color of my odometer. I don’t want a dark blue look. More of a cool blue so I can match the gauge cluster lights with the same color. Like a 5-6k color. I have seen a few threads but not one said what color lights I would need other than blue and I just don’t want it to be too dark of a blue. If someone could give me the some links to click to help speed this up I would appreciate it. This is for my 2000 Camaro not a trans am. So I don’t have to worry about that red film.

You can get "cool white" LEDs which are white on the blue-er side instead of the yellower/softer side, but that still won't match the teal/ice-blue of the gauges on some cars (without pics, I can't see which you mean). So I'd suggest buying some cool white and teal LEDs to light up with a battery or bench power supply to see if you like the color in comparison to your gauges. A standard 2032 lithium watch battery (like in car remote fobs) should be find for testing a single led as long as the specs for that LED is find with 3V (White LED are fine and Teal might be too, you'll need to check the specs of what you are buying).
