I did red led's. They are fantastic. I have a black interior so they really pop out. I don't have pictures but trust me, do it, you will love it. I also used SPDKILZ's suggestion and ordered from oznium. There is an option to order with resistors when you check out.

Adam, can you take a picture and post them or email them. I want to do this mod, but I'm undecided about the Blue or Red. Please let me know what you can do.

Thanks, Tom

Do you need to trim the LED's from Oznium to fit them into the holder? Thanks.

Glad to be of help! This summer I will do a in-depth tech-tip on how to instal the LEDs in the DIC (I didn't have time to do it when I did mine last year).

I think I am gonna order some LED's and do this mod to my vette. Does anyone have picture of the white LED's? Even though I like the blue color, I wanna go with something that will give an exact color as the front blacklight lit instrument cluster gauges. I know that plain white LED's give off that color. If anyone has pictures of this mod using white LED's please post.
Thanks.

Has anyone considered using a thin dab of blue (or whatever) colour on the underside the the switches and 'filtering' the standard white light that way?

just a thought-

A lot of people in the Jeep forum did that with their I/P clusters to change their colors. These guys tried painting the bulbs (last about a week, then turns pink), bulb paint gel (lasts about a month), incandescent colored bulbs (dyed ones last a while), light bulb covers (search for light bulb condoms and you will get some hits, these last forever, but not bright colored.
I installed red LED replacement bulbs in my I/P and they are bright red...great.
