    Lowered 3/4, debadged, led tails, projector headlights with hids, billet grill, blacked out windows, painted front and rear bumper and grill shell. Inside, 4 crappy 15's, suede wrapped headliner and door panel inserts, alpine double din, few painted pieces inside, and every led is either blue or white.
    Yea, I took all the stock bulbs out and put that led strip in above the controls

    well the lights inside it are white, but its half black, and half white as far as the dash color. the only orange color that I can think of is the clock as you said.

    Yep.
    2 things; you do have to change the led's to the color of your choosing and you will need to scrape off the orange paint on the back of the needles (just use a razor bade) then re-paint with blue where the orange used to be.

    good luck :D

    You need to use rubbing alcohol to get the red off of the stock needle and then paint the needle (where it used to be red) white or instead use sandpaper to take off the red and leave the needle scuffed (I do not recommend this way though). You will then want the LED underneath it to be a blue LED

    I used silver/pewter paint for the needles in the end. When first painting the needles blue for the same color as the leds, I would loose the needle in the shade with out the lights on during the day time because the black background and the blue needles where to close in darkness.

    When the lights are on at night the blue shines through perfectly.

    Would love to do this.. although I limited experience with electrical work on vehicles. hmmm

    The write does not get into detail on how to replace each LED, it just shows it replaced. How do you remove and install a single LED.

    Do these LED's have pins that go through the other side and you solder to the back of the board or do you sold right to the back side of the LED to the front of the board?

    Thinking about this one, which a lot of people have already done. Or the next one, which is a combo of the white and blue.

    These are surface mount LEDs. No pins that go to the back side. All soldering is on the front of the board. There are little solder pads that go to the traces.
