tonight the monkey wrench bit me so i had to work on my car some, and i decided to install the LEDs that i snagged from xXGTBspecXx, well i only had large LEDs so i was only able to replace the 4 main cluster bulbs i was wanting to know what LEDs i could get to replace the ones in the center of the cluster that are a bit smaller than the large bulbs any help? i am looking for blue

do the leds make a difference in the brightness? or do they just allow you to chance collors?

mainly for changing the color, it seems that the back lighting is more even with the leds

i recently installed new bulbs in my hvac controlls. I just dont understand why subaru didnt use leds for this??? is it possible to use mutiple colors on your guages or will they all fade together?

it's possble for the different halves of the cluster but it wouldn't look good

xXGTBspecXx if you find that last led ( non modded base ) go ahead and let me know and i'll paypal you a dollar for the postage :D

that could end up turning out cool in a way, if you removed all the walls in there that block the light...

so if you did blue on the right ant like a yellow on the left side, itd turn greenish in the middle... a pearlescent effect..
may be cool looking

ive pulled mt cluster out before to change bulbs but i didnt go any further than that. i think im just going to go white with all my guages and red interior lights. unless i could light my guages red with white needles...... hmmm
