did you order the correct LEDs? You need to have a inverted 194 red/blue LED so that it will distribute a wide pattern. Most of the pics I've seen of the blue dash show the needles lit up very well except in the 80mph and 4000 RPM area.

i thought red/blue leds are pink the pic looks like it would be pink. i just gat the blue leds

what does it look like with white leds? does it look as good as blue?

i'd assume white would look green. because of the tint on the back of the gauges

i looked up the red/blue led and the pic looks like its pink. is it or is it not

You either have really crappy led's or you installed them wrong. I used blue 194 Matrix leds from autolumination and my whole cluster lights up just fine. You don't need blue/red leds for anything, unless you want the redline area to light up red still.

You should post a pic of your cluster.

i gat my leds from autolumination too everything lights up but the redline and the needles

i really just need to know on autolumination i looked up red/blue leds and the pic the show looks like its pink. my cluster is really bright just not my needles. if the red/blue led will still light up blue and light up my redline and the needles then im going to get them.i just dont want to order pink leds.

5led blue matrix bulbs from autolumination.com you need 4 (or two if you want to see just the tach and speedo needles).
