Gauge Colors

I did a quick search and didn't see anything real helpful link me to threads if you know about this already.

I drive a milano red fit and I have been working on eliminating all of the blue colored lights on the interior. I have been successful to an extent but I can not seem to figure out if the light inside the cluster are lights or white lights and the sticker being blue. If that is the case does anyone sell other color gauges for the GD3?

I've seen white-faced/amber lighted gauges on eBay touted as being JDM, but no telling what you have to do to make them work with the USDM Fit (if at all)... Matter of fact, someone has a set up for auction right now. Here's the link.

Yup! The ones on the USDM Fit are blue, however. The question is: Is the gauge itself colored, or the lights behind it?

The guage is white with red numbers the red and orange come from the lights i think... Mugen make a dash that has loads of different colors that can be changed from a wheel under the steering wheel.

take it apart and look at the little LED's then go to a electronics store and ask for the same but in red.
might be a good idea to make a MACRO photo of the LED and take it with you to the shop. just to make sure you get the right part
Also ebay has lots of LED's available.
