But I have to show you the blue LED truck gauges.

Kinja'd!!!

The gauges, radio and HVAC controls are all blue LEDs. The little screens and radio face still need to be swapped over to blue.

Chevy truck dash? How did you go about doing this? I really want to make my Buick's dashboard red like my dad's VW is (blue and red hnnnngggg)

It required a lot of soldering, because you have to switch all the incandescent fittings with the LED ones. My dad hated doing it but loves the final product.

There's tons of online tutorials for the truck clusters, not to sure about a Buick though.

Yeah, soldering isn't an issue. What LEDs did you use that could handle what I'm assuming is 12v?

Oh geeze, I'd have to ask my dad in the morning, he'd know. I haven't a slightest clue.

I took the easy route and just changed the gauge faces to blue. :P
