What do u think of my LEDs?

I finally put a couple LEDs in to my vents... 2 for now and probably finish off the rest of the vents if peeps like it. My color scheme is black and yellow, but have blue lit interior... i figure its a change between night and day appearance..... what do u guys think?

LEDs look cool but, wow, look at that engine bay - it's so fresh and so clean!

Time to change the lightbulbs on your gauge cluster, then it will look 10 times better.

Don't bother buying the halo gauges. I hate the way they look (although that's my opinion, you may like them and that's fine). The halo thing around where the needle attaches is really annoying and looks like crap. Spend the $6 on light bulbs and save some money.

Here's a link to a site to buy bulbs. There are many different types of 194 bulbs, but accoring to member JTC, who did a how-to write up, these are the bulbs to get. You want the incadecent bulbs with colored glass, which is near the bottom of the page.

Well, two people can verify that the Auto Tranny bulb is a 194. From my searching no one but JTC has mentioned the gauge cluster itself.
