The problem with LED gloves is they don't have the same even spread the normal globes have and you have to make sure they sit deep enough into the dash to light up the gauges properly.

Here's various LED options.

Plasmaglow

.. then I changed to gauges that don't have the green gel built into them.

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

The only problem with those rubber covers for globes now, is that due to \"legality issues\" (as i was told by someone at auto-one), they cant sell them in blue or red

heres the pics of my NA with the leds in the AC Surround..

AC SURROUND (obviously red doesnt show up but it was either this or no bulbs at all.. the condom covers still made my dash green so LED's were the only option...)

And my EL guages.. (please note i have LED lights behind the dash too which light up the needles and klms reading blue as they stayed green when installed the EL's)
