You must have a better blue LED than I did lol. Mine turned out to be only barely brighter than stock. But they were cheap LED's and they all died. So now I have white LED's and due to the gauges themselves, there's still sort of a light green tint to the numbers. You can get around that by taking your gauges out and scraping the back off very carefully though. I'm just not brave enough to do it. Go with v-leds.com. I'm very happy with the bulbs I got from there.

EDIT: Probably shouldn't get the blue LED's from there... That wouldn't be the first time I've heard they are too bright. I was jsut saying that I had crappy blue LED's so mine weren't too bright, and to get white LED's from v-led's.
