Thumbs down Orange + Red?? Yuck!! (How to change gauge colors)

I love my '07 Taco but I treasure my eyes alot more, so, following instruction from the sticky from CT on how to remove the gauge:
http://customtacos.com/tech/index.php?article=225

I began my obsession to have a better viewing when I'm driving:











































You see how hard it is to read characters in f'in amber?

There were 10 LED's total that I replaced. (should be 11 really).

Now I can Ride In Peace

Additional image:


addition 3/1/07: somebody's come up with blue gauges here

I'M READY! PM ME


If you're gonna mail it in, pack it right and track it, cause I'm gonna use the same packaging to ship it back.

Damn, I'd pay for that to be done. I hate the amber color of the gagues. That's one of the gripes I have with this truck but was willing to live with it. I always wondered about the color of the gagues and if they could be changed somehow. Now I have my answer and will definatly keep track of this one.

Out fuck'ng standing. One of the best mods I've seen so far. I always knew it can be done, but I don't have the time & patience to do it. Keep up the good work!!! I'd love to see it in person.

Holy crap! Someone estimated about 20 LEDs to change, so there's really only 10 =). So did you solder them or what? I want blue =) And you couldn't change the needles' color?

I do, too. Easier on the eyes at night. But, nonetheless, a great mod.
