2022 C3 of the Year Finalist - Modified
Default Blue Dash Light

After I finish the story with my Headlight switch I change all the bulbs in the 1968 dash to Blue SMD bulbs.
15 Blue SMD = 1895
5 warm white SMD = 1895
1 warm white SMD = 194





Also you can see that I change the Ammeter to Voltmeter custom made for 1968.
