He had an actual gauge insert...
I did the gel sheet in mine to make the EVIC and stuff red. Hard to see during the day, but killer at night.

Damn that looks good. Where does one get the Gel Sheets from??? |

The gauges or the LEDs? I have been looking around for the LEDs I use in purple but nobody makes them as far as I know. I guess its hard to make the color purple come out of an LED. |

| It's very hard. I have the LED map lights from AAC but they are a combo of red and blue lights. Anything else is that UV and it's more of a pinkish color. |

Yeah I have seen a lot of pink LEDs. Yellow and purple are very rare. Most yellow is actually Amber but now I think a vendor on the Z actually has true yellow so theres a step in the right direction. Hopefully someone gets a true purple soon. Ill let you know if I see them and Ill do a light change for ya.  |

It can be done but it makes the gauges hard to see. I actually thinking of taking my blue sheet out because I cant see the EVIC during the day at all but im too lazy and dont want to mess with the gauges again, lol. |

I take all the panels out and I have to remove the bulbs, then add the LEDs with resistors. Do you have the dual climate control (4 knob) or the regular climate control (3 knob) and which radio do you have? |

As far as I know they dont sell the lights anywhere, the dealership would just replace the whole panel. But I have a few extra bulbs from previous installs that I can put in for ya if you like. |
