Default LED's for the interior

I just replaced my interior door and center console lights with some blue 5mm LED's. I am real impressed. Its a unique and cheap upgrade. Anyone know how to replace the bulbs on the dash (i.e. trip, gauges, fuel) ? You have several different choices with bulb color. www.oznium.com. There is also a article in this months Corvette Enthusiast.

It is like 10 dollars with shipping and real easy. Just make sure you get the resistors with the lights. All you need then is a dremel and a soldering iron. It has been the easiest mod so far.

Yeah...I am a bit dismayed they would mention Oznium.com but not my site in that article. I'm not claiming I was the first person to do this modification, but from what the article shows it is somewhat clear to me they have at least heard/visited my site. Mainly for the fact no one KNEW Oznium.com until I began pushing the site on here because my friend runs it...also I have a tech tip on his site under the LED section showing how to do what was shown in the article. I just with they would have possibly given me props or something....

At the very least you'll get some hits from people visiting Oznium.com and then hitting the tech tip over to your site.
