man I been doing this for years now. I actually have been able to rgb any vehicle now, it takes more time though because it's a lot more extra wiring and soldering but anything is possible these days with all the knowledge I've collected over the years.

man I've done it ALL over the years. You can source any type of LED from AliExpress. They even have the stranger things like rectangular head LEDs of various color for older 80s tape decks and such. If you ever have any specific questions, don't hesitate to ask me, ai can source anything for you and don't mind sharing the knowledge. You can reach me quick at

Its difficult to do the gauges specifically because you cant safely detatch the gauge needles from the stepper motors, so the gauge faces hang in the balance between the 2 as you must remove the colored layer of paint/plastic from behind the gauge faces so the new light color shines through. I'd be happy to do all your interior pieces any color for $150 but I live in Oregon. Recently moved from Seattle and just got all my tools and LEDs moved over finally. Otherwise, you can email me and I can guide you through the process if you want to take a shot at doing it all yourself. I also do the sequential tail light thing for the LED versions, or can install halos into them. I do headlights too, any type of halos you can think of, Projector Retrofits and vinyl interior.

You can detach the needles from the motor shafts. Ive done it plenty of times. The tricky part is knowing how to put it back on.

Good for you. I don't take any chances with these delicate motors if I don't have to. And it's easy enough for me now to complete without removing them with a tool. Simple worm gear stepper motors like Chevy trucks, I'll pull them all day long. Same with hybrid style stepper motors in a lot of BMWs and such. But I'm careful with old style.

I can do RGB everything now, but it is pretty complicated and takes more time. I can make it Bluetooth for your phone.

LED Retrofit Any Color or RGB

Just want to let anyone know who would like some work done to their vehicle, you can reach me at keithpoley@gmail.com alternatively you can text or call me on my cell: (971) 403 6027.

I have tons of different types of LEDs, the tools and years now of experience to customize any vehicle. I recently moved to Oregon so if you're in the area, give me a shout. Otherwise I take shipments and we can work that out. To customize everything in most vehicles I charge about $150. If it's a German car or other car that has upwards of hundreds of LEDs to change then obviously its going to cost a little more but most dont have that many. But I am negotiable if people really need. I think everyone should be able to afford cool lights. I also do headlights, tail lights, fog lights, side markers, anything and everything.
