Default LED, gauge lights

ok, so my gauges are now lit by an LED strip mounted above the face, so theres a glow, instead of lighted numbers, they arew wired to go on with my neons so they also act as an indicator light. pics as soon as i get them,

Looks pretty good.

I replaced all of myinstrument cluster lightsand ac/heater panel lights with blue led's. Looked so awesome, I decided to put led strips under the dash and in the panels above all of my speakers, so that the speakers have a mild blue glow to them. Looks freaking sweet. I'll post some pics too when I get the time....
