is there a white backlight for guages on gen. 4?

Guys,


I have a Gen 4 1998 Camry. The back light for my odometer/Gas/temp guage is the standard ugly lime green color when the head lights are turned on. It's not even that bright when its all the way on high.

Is there a way to Change my Backlight color from the lime green to a bright flourescent white like they have in many newer cars?

I 'don't mean like reverse glow guages or anything , i just wanna change the back light color to a bright white. Maybe a White glowgauge will do.

Thanx for the input.

YESCA---- I didn't see any 194 bulbs on the link you gave.

They're all just LED lights, do I have to install White LEDs behind my Guage panel???

Click on LED bulbs & products, then click on the 12 volt for car app. there should be 194 bulbs there. This is the company where I bought mine from, and they have treated me pretty well.

There noe super bright like the new cars but that are pretty bright.

Can you do the same with the shifter and the radio and A/C and heat controls, as in changing bulbs? That would be kind of cool to be able to change the whole thing to blue instead of that green. Anyone know?
