my lil DIY

Just thought i'd show you guys my lil DIY. I change all the bulbs for the gauges to blue so it kinda looks like reverse indiglo at night but normal in the day and i change the surrounding "face plate" to white instead of black or grey.

Heres a look:

not all of them are 194s...i believe it was only 4 194s. The rest were the small ones, i just went to Jenkins Auto (local place) and had them order the other sizes in blue.
But for the 194s i had to get new "sockets", or whatever you wanna call what the bulbs go into, to put the leds in.

i'll get some night pics soon
