So if i put blue bulbs in i'm going to get purple? am i better off just getting bright whites?

There no point in just putting the bulbs in you gotta scrape this film off if you want it to look good and show up any color led that you buy

Bahh thats a pain in the ass lol

Mike, did you have to scrape your's? or did you just do the pillar guages

I only did the pillar gauges, I didn't actually write that write up. I have aftermarket gauges that were a gift to me about 4 years ago.

Yea the scraping was a pain in the ass believe me took me like an hour , hour and a half

Oh ok. So wont scraping it scrape up the plastic behind the gages too? and what do you mark the needles with, a pencil?

 

[02minrlgrygt]

No its doesnt but you only wanna do it in the areas where you want the light to shine through and yea with a pencil u can erase also when u put it on if u go far enough to the side u cant see it MAKE sure the car is on when u do it though otherwise its a bit**

Okay man thanks. Two more Quistions. I'll be able to get behind the plastic that is in front of the guages after i take the bezel off, correct? And, won't i just have to scrape the whole piece behind the gueage for the light to shine through? idk how to tell where i should scrape to make the light shine through the guage in the right place
