The thing is that there are 2 different types of LED's. Narrow spread and wide spread. The difference being the Narrow spread one just shoots light in one direction which is through the tip of the bulb. The Widespread one has some refractive surfaces inside the crystal that allows light to emit from the entire surface area of the bulb, thus making the LED real bright. Im gonna try em and take some pix when i get em in. Im caught up in midterms @ school right now so I dont have time to do it.

I did this same thing a few months ago - I had ES gauges and upgraded to the OZ gauges... all I did was swap off the stock ES covers and and put them on my OZ gauge, and swapped off the red from the OZ and put it on my ES cluster. They both look nice and unique... took me a whopping 10 minutes to do EVERYTHING. real easy task!

i think yellow would be tite. definately unique. it would look good with a yellow oz though, real good. something like a cyan color or aqua would be hella cool.
