The blue looks awesome! You can still see darker patches though, what bulbs did you use?

like i said the pictures dont do them justice, the blue was a bright blue and i was using a 7.2v rc car battery same as the red.

And the dimmer works with them aswell. lol

So it's the led bulbs that are changing the colour and not some film behind the cluster ?

The leds are the colour you see. The orange paint behind have been removed.

I was hoping they'd be a bit bluer (if there's such a word) laugh

They still look good though and will be awaiting your guide laugh

Have you done the centre console lighting yet? You'll love doing the window switches. Surface mount LEDs...

Yes i tried it as my heater lights have never worked. Got them working but there not that great. Some bits missing i think. Ill stick a pic up in a bit. The switches are awkward as the leds are different. Thats my next mission lol.

The switches are easy enough. A dropping resistor and a led in place of the bulb and just a change of led for the window switches (they're surface mount).

Yes, but please use imgpop instead of IMG (and yes the capitals does make a difference)
So [IMG]http://i1249.photobucket.com/albums/hh517/812112/20121117_192755-1.jpg[/IMG]]heaters[/url]

Well that's hardly a guide.
THIS ONE however is a lot more comprehensive but does not cover the main bity about how to change the colour. WHich is the tough bit crazy
