Not as bright as I'd like but it should be a lot better when I get some LED's.
These are just the red 194 bulbs you can get at your local auto store.

Time consuming, but pretty easy.

Rip apart your gauges, scrape off green paint from back with an exacto knife (yellow and red too), strip white off of needles (carefully), paint needles your color (I did red), put back together with your new colored lights!

HVAC are green due to a green paper like backing. I cut this off and pulled it out and added red bulbs.

If that's true then why were my stock clear bulbs glowing green? By your logic they would have been white. I wish it was that easy.

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.
