Default led gauge lights???

Hi am going to do a full interior led swap and want to do all my lights green, now is there any way i can change the lighting of the main gauges? (spedometer, rpm, gas, etc...) i undersatand they are illuminated by a uv light but i am just wondering if that could be swapped out for green led's or a regular bulb, and also i havent seen anyone with green led's has anyone seen them before? if so please post pics. thank you!

Anthony

your only option is to go with electro-luminacent (EL) gauges. I believe you can get them from USspeedo if I remember correctly.

I have a picture of his work but I'm not sure I'm allowed to post his things as I'm not sure he's a vendor.

Here is a forum link that he posted a while back. He's a graphic designer so he can make anything.

Thanks for the link!
