    It's a dealer option...

    j/k You've gotta take apart the cluster, headunit, etc completely until the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) and remove then replace the red surface mount LED's with blue ones.

    wow that looks funky half done! haha

    Now, I understand how you would change all the LEDs to be blue, but how to you change the cig lighter to be blue? on my car its powered by a white bulb covered in OJ plastic.

    do they sell those fittings in blue?

    1)swapping the leds approx (combo with 3) 20-30 mins
    2)removing the cluster and breaking it down 20mins
    3)running up and downstairs making sure they light up 20-30mins
    4)aligning the gas guage up so it would work properly 20-30mins lol

    Yea I know, I've tried to remove the controls without taking apart the entire dash, but I haven't gotten it. The only way is to disconnect the AC/Heat controls from the front of the car.

    Tyler, where did you get your 10mm neo-wedge LED's or bulbs? I'm looking for LED ones but at a good price, autolumination's shipping is f***ing stupid.

    THAT WAS KINDA WHAT I THOUGHT. BUT THE ROOF FOLLOWS THE HOOD LINES NICELY! my pops own's a sign shop, and i have any kind of vinyl at my conv. so i was gunna wrap my hood like yours in black just to see what it would look like. also thought about wrapping it in carbon fiber. more for looks than performance, but just to see what it would look like. GIZZMO, ill have to post the link later, cuz im at work right now, and the link is saved on my comp. at home. not sure where i got em', but it was like $10 bucks shipped for the 2 led's... not a bad deal
