Alright I did these some time ago but here are the pics. Although they look beter in person than in the pics. I first used the blue LED's and didn't like them they were too blue! You could not see red on temp gauge and during the day they were not very bright and hard to see. I could not read the MPH on digital readout during normal daylight. Then I instaled the white and I was really happy with them so I then did all the switches, cig lighter and AC unit in white. This is not an easy mod! You do have to un solder all the old LED's and solder in the new ones making sure you have all the polarities correct. However the gauge bulbs just plug in. It took me about 3 HRS to do. If you are not familure with soldering do not attempt this mod......however if you are have at it . I think it really brings the interior up to date. I wish I would have done this years ago.
