Interior lighting and led swap

Thanks was hoping someone liked it....
Well first of all I did all this myself. Found out it takes tons of patience and some trial and error to get ALL the parts the same color and to make it flow together.
First was the gauge cluster which I replaced with white 5smd led twist lock bulbs. Then I got blue transparent film with an adhesive backing for it to stick to the back of the faceplate. This allows you to define where the light will be blue and what light will be white. Another hard part was to get the odometer the same blue which I used a piece of blue transparent plastic and slide out the old one. Again this was the hardest part out of everything.
Second was the center climate control. I again used blue transparent plastic and placed it over the climate control lettering and then cut a piece of clear plastic in place of the orange tinted piece.
All together with leds blue film and blue plastic it cost around 100 give or take plus TIME. IF anyone wants for me to do this I could do it again but would take some time no longer than 2 weeks but it does take time and patience. Let me know and I could give you a better estimate on the price.

Note...Again it takes more than just leds....
You must have leds (wide angle) SAND DOWN THE ORANGE THAT IS APPLIED ON THE BACK OF THE GAUGE FACE. AND THEN APPLY THE blue film to the back of the faceplate.
Otherwise if you just replace the bulbs it will STILL HAVE THE AMBER COLOR.
I WILL TRY TO GET MORE PICTURES THIS WEEKEND...
AND YES IT'S BETTER TO HAVE AN EXTRA GAUGE CLUSTER TO DO THIS.
