Led swap for instrument cluster

ive tried the search option and had a hard time finding a step by step install for the lights in the instrument cluster. not the black light ones but the speedo, oil pressure..... and other gauge lights. if anyone has changed theres out or knows how i would like to pick your brain or see how it was done correctly. thank you in advance

ive already replaced those. but if you look in pic 41 (second to last) it shows how the tach is lite up blue. that is what im trying to change. i already have everything changed just need to do the actual instrument cluster.

I see what your saying how the speedo/tach are blue-ish in the pics...

I'm thinking its stock looking blue a little... Mine has a blue look to it too... (see mine below)

Does the dimmer still work with LEDs? I love the look but I need them dimmer when driving on country roads.
