Thumbs up -PICS- Added some effects to my gauges and lights

I used a blue led to highlight my gauge cluster, looks really really good. And I changed out all of my instrument lights out with red bulbs, I even changed the gauge cluster out with red bulbs, so during the day they are orange and at night everything is red. Only ones I have not done yet are the clock and the LCD display on the stock CD player.
I apoligize if the pictures dont come out to well, my camera does not work well at night.

It kinda looks bright on the picture, dont know why it came out like that, I think I had the exposure set too high. Its actually more of a soft glow. Just enough to add a little bit of contrast.

You cant see the bulbs at all. I mounted the bulbs where the two screw wells are at that hold the plastic trim piece in place, I drilled two 1/8" holes at an angle, one in each screw well, and mounted the LED lights there, they are angled so they illuminate the whole gauge cluster. I roughted the power wire for the lights down to the stock dimmer switch. Works really good, My friend could not figure where the light was coming from until he put his hand up to the gauge cluster.

Doesnt look that bad, probably a lot better in person, but the gauges in the din look more like a pink and not a red

I bet it looks way better in person. I think it's different. Now I need to change all my dash lights over to red.
