Something to consider for guages

I received my two AutoMeter guages for my dual pod a few days ago. Since my dash is already blue, you can guess what thought crossed my mind since I had some extra blue LEDs

I soldered four blue LEDs right on the bulb socket! Put in the guage and lit it up. It looks AWESOME!!!

Next I want to do the A/C and heater controls in blue. I think I need to order some more blue LEDs....

Is too much blue annoying ? LOL I guess you can get to that point if you get overzealous !

I've got a fuel pressure and a nitrous pressure gauge in the pod..

Flush mounted inside a center AC vent is what at one point wasa nordstog AF digital gauge... ditched the whole "cup" gauge part... it looks trick.
