HEY, you know all the lil lights acroos the bottom, ya know service engine soon and low oil upshift those lights, those should asll be blue. I can't stand them always being red, why not a even different color combos, greens, yellows, blues, orange, limes, purple. It would be awesome i think the flames are cool.

i recnetly took my guages apart, the lite will shine throuh on normal white, but blue would prolly not show up. on a firebird all those service engine soon lite and stuff were not part of the guage face plate, they were cut out. im gonna photoshop some whitefaced ones, ill prolly post em when im dont, but i gotta get my scanner working first tho

yeah, semi transperent film would be used, just like the stuff used for your gauge lights (ie service engine soon) It can be done.
