Seems simple enough, but in my case, I'd need to try and get the climate control to match and that seems like a much harder job.

What about the speedo and tach? Looks kinda cheesy with blue fuel, temp, clock, info, etc. gauges and blue-green speedo and tach.

looks nice, but again, how do you do the speedo

MR.CLIFFORD · 01-19-2003, 11:59 AM

speedo and tach should be the same way. Couldn't you take the gauge face off and put the blue film behind it?

Seems like you could use that blue saran wrap and it would get the job done.

I may have to try that

yea i bet it would look better if you took the rubber covers off the bulbs making them much brighter. Caus the actual bulbs have rubber covers on them.

are you talking about the bulbs behind the speedo/tach gauges or the dash lights?

I dunno ... seems kinda cheapy, climate control etc will all still be the same color ... its a lot of work to make it blue ..

anybody read the write-up on the blue led conversion for the 5th gen ? .. ( i haven't .. just wondering if its worthwhile ..)
