Okay!!! Here are the awaited pics!! My car looks SOOO nice.. unbelievable how dope it looks at night.. I LOVE IT... so much better than the red.. I can't wait till I get my alpine 9815 to match the blues.. yum yum..

Anyhow, long story short - Jeff from jdmnow.com totally took care of me.. I didn't realize they were local till I got my jdm lights and put some other stuff on order (till I get my next paycheck ) at first, I thought this task would be impossible to turn the gauges blue, especially after seeing the longass thread from before and how long the project was going... anyway, jeff helped me get all the panels off and take everything apart. We just got everything working since putting needles back on was tricky and everything is 100% fully functional.. i was kinda scared 'bout my mileage too, but once we got it all figured out, it was cool.

As for the lights. we had to get the specialized leds that would work which was part of the delay..... anyhow, mad props out to jeff at jdmnow.com.. he says he just started tailoring his business to end users like us instead of just shops and distributors.. and I think that's a total plus for us.. anyhow, mad props for all the help if u read this..

For those interested I'll put a kit together w/ all the LEDs and DIY instructions and mail those out if u want.. anyhoo - I'm going to be doing the other stuff as well climate control and the left panel switches (sunroof, etc.) I am working on those now... if u guys do want a kit, it'll include everything for your car to make it nice BLUE..

Anyhow - enjoy the pics!!

It took several hours because I was really careful when taking things off and also putting them back on. The soldering part took some time as well.. but this whole job was spanned over 2-3 days since I couldn't rush it and it took a while to find the right LEDs..

I will have a DIY put together that will include all the LEDs u need, plus additional LEDs for the climate control and the switches on the left side (sunroof, mirror control, etc.) if you guys are interested..

I had to buy them from a speciality store. They sell for about $1.75-$2.50 each.. I am selling a kit that includes all the LEDs and the DIY instructions for around $50 + shipping if interested.. email me at: ylounge510@yahoo.com

You mean like the side switches? The left switches (mirror, sunroof, etc.) are all being done now.. and the climate control as well. I'll post pics of that once that is done.. I hve partial pics already on clubrsx..
