Hey everyone,
I recently installed a White Face Gauge kit and I want to chang the other lights like for the AC and suck to blue. Any idea if it is just colored bulbs back there or is there a way I can do it. Any info would be helpfull.

I have the cluster done and I really don't want to go to a white faced AC cover, I just want to change that green color to a blue. Maybe a colored bulb?

Colored bulb will always give you a greenish color, because the standards bulbs are not white light.
Only blue LEDs will give you what you want

I just replaced all the bulbs with Blue LEDs (with a resistor in series). Blue LEDS cost about $2.50 each at Radio Shack... so that's a cheap mod !

Any chance of getting a step by step of this mod?
Or at least an idea how it needs to get done?

This may sound stupid, but where does the resistor go?

putting a resistor in series like hooking wires up for car stereos (series/parallel)? and like mcmmotorsports, do you have a step by step?
