Default Who's changed their Instrument Panel Gauge Faces/Lighting?

Was wondering who has changed their IPC faces or more importantly, the lighting. I want to change my faces to light up blue. Not really interested in the reverse white face gauges. Just want my numbers to light up bright blue. The stock lighting is really poor in my opinion for a vette.

Please post pictures and what you did or what you bought! and where you got the materials.

I hope he chimes in...I have seen pictures and heard rumors that he is one who has successfully added LED's to his setup and it actually looks good. I love his flame stuff...I have similar ideas for mine....not that radical...I would like to go more of a purpleish/bluish ghost flame setup under some coats of clear.....I saw a car once some years ago....the owner was Mike Hefner...truely awesum paint job. Was a dark navy blue 99 with a very faint but definitely noticeable flame and ghost skulls paintjob....fell in love with it.
