Is there someone on here who could change all my lights to blue? Just want the dash,clock and possibly aircon? This has got to be one of the best mods!!

I am toying with this idea but doing just the dials and clock. How many leds will i need?
Am i right that its 12 for the dials but not too sure about the clock?

As I said earlier in the thread...

For the odometer it's 10 SMD LEDs.
For the dials it's 12 SIDELEDs.
The clock is 4 SIDELEDS.

And you WILL need SIDELEDS, normal SMD LEDs won't do the job properly for the dials/clock!
