Correct. I didn't remove the red film. I'm sure there is a way to remove the red film. You will have to figure that out. Have you tried rubbing alcohol?

This is correct. Complete plug in play.

You could use red LED's if you want. It will give you a true red color. The difference being that the odometer will also be red. I used to have a photo on my PC at home from someone that did it. I will post it up if I still have it.

I'm looking forward to what Diode Dynamics brings to the table for the 194 size LED's. I am also considering changing out the behind the display of the digital DIC I have in my GT. I just need to find the exact size. I believe they are PC74 or PC37.
