Default Anyone got suggestions for LEDs interior?

So got a few questions. I would like to get gauge overlays in like silver or white. Also looking for either blue or red LEDs for the cluster and climate controls. I found this site i think bandbengineering? Cant remeber for sure anyway is there a place I could buy these and then install them myself or do I have to do the whole sending mine in and get em done and wait for them? Also how do you go aobut keeping the mileage right? Just knocking around a few ideas here. Any help would be cool.

I bought a cool overlay for my 02 a few years back. Had to power it up and you could change the lighting from green to blue and such. There were no lights to install, just the overlays. Can't remember where I got it but I really liked it. Good Luck.

I've seen those on amazon before. Like I said I like this site I found I'm just not a huge fan of sending in my cluster and controls and waiting. I'd like to be able to get them ordered as I want and them install them and then if need be send in my old parts.

You can do the method that MJC did, it's in the 6th gen how-to. The mileage is internal in the cluster so you won't have to worry about it going blank or anything. You can do that method of the HVAC also, it's not as bright but it gets the same thing done.

bbengineer.com and sales@bbengineer.com

he will send you his source for leds and such, if you're an amateur at soldering I wouldn't try this on your own, you could melt the board and need to look for a new cluster.
