Before and after PICS of boost gauge bulb change

[mcduuuugal808]

Well I payed The price for being cheap, Saw another members nice LED setup, thought I would try the ricer blue bulb, which was great for dome and trunk, but kind of funky for boost gauge.
Heres the bulb, then stock, off, then the blue bulb,
Notice even though the light that it produces is white, the numbers now come out blue. anyone know what color they would be if I used a white led?

Maybe its just the pic but it looks like you lost some brightness ... how does it look in person?

yea, thats how those blue bulbs are, it's like they light up with a whiter, but darker light. great for license plate!
I guess i'll have to try a true led next

Yeah it looks like you completely lost the glowing ring of the gauge,the blue looks good...but where the shit is the ring?!?! Lol.

The numbers look good......But you lost the lighting on the outside of the guage......

Just grab a wide angle 5 LED 194 and you'll get all that lighting back again.

how hard is it to get in there to change the bulb?

Remove your A-Pillars
Unscrew the two screws in the middle grate on the dash
Unscrew the two screws (one on either side) of the dash pad
Push up the dash and behind the boost gauge on the pad there are two phillips head screws that hold the pod to the dash. You can take these out and pull it down to swap it out, or simply unscrew the bulb thats in there and replace it that way.
