Has anyone put LED's in their climate control, if so what size LED's did you use and what resistors did you use?

The gauges are tinted green because the back of the gauge faces are painted green. To fix that, you actually need to remove the gauge faces and sand the back of the numbers down. Otherwise, white LED's will always turn out with a greenish tinge in the gauge cluster. Colors like red and blue aren't nearly as affected by the greenish tinge as white.

Colors like red and blue aren't nearly as affected by the greenish tinge as white. Not all cars have this though. And the type of plastic does vary too. I will have to have another look at the back of my gauge faces though next time I'm messing about with them as a red needle kit is on the cards. That would be a good though if its just a green film on the back as that can at least be fixed. There is not any green in these for instance.  These also came up very white without any sanding or anything although the photo is on a bit of a long exposure.
