    Would it look bad to have blue gauges with the red cluster gauge?

    it may, i chose red gauges for that reason. however im starting to regret taking the easier route, as there was something i would want more. you could always switch the cluster to blue if blue is what you want. there is some one on here who did it, and ive seen him give a few members advice on doing theirs.

    its up to you though, some minght not mind blue with red. my head unit is blue i really dont mind the contrast, and im a very anal, right brain, person.

    Keith has a gauge overlay, not blue swapped bulbs.

    You need to take the gauge cluster apart, use some paint thinner or such to clear the red film off the back of the gauge face, and then swap in some blue 194 LEDs, something that will distribute the light a bit, so its not all focused on one point, otherwise it'll look goofy.

    Complex wiring and whatever else, blah blah. The indiglo gauges and such usually have a blue/green switch but it's not really "green" per say and most of it still looks blue.

    You'd have to get multi-colored LED's, and put them on a switch. Not worth the trouble.
