When I PM'd him he told me what i do is take all three bulbs and buy them as white LED's or just white, then you take all the numbering and lines that you want red and put a red film around it. Or in the back of the cluster. That picture that i posted of his. kinda showes ya guys what its gonna look like. When i do it this week i'll post some picks of my air/heat control that i made red. and my gauges. havn't started the gauges will saterday.

Well after about 3 hours yesterday of trying out my custom work. It failed. I thought maybe the hyper white LED's i bought would work. But turned out like crap. So I possibly will have 4 Hyper white LED's for sale and i just put regular white bulbs in for now. Will post a pic of what it looks like till i get regular White LED's

Very important warning:

I'm driving a UK spec (nn-import) '97 reg Celica.
After 3 different sets of bulbs, all in the wrong sizes, I found out that for my dash i needed 3x 501, NOT 194 like everyone else. Make sure you check that before you order.

dude, red will be fine! there are so many cars that have red guages/radio/climate control lights in them stock. my mom's suzuki and my ex's grand-am both have red lighting...they won't bother your eyes. in fact it looks pretty slick. coomer used to have his guages red, but i guess he changed them back because he took that pic off.

grand am's and pontiac's are actually orange because it's easier on the eyes. Red like blood red is too harsh of a "warm" color for most people to look at for long periods of time.

hmm...it looks red to me (especially on my mom's suzuki). but you may have a point.
