Not sure if anyone has done this yet but has anyone put say blue or green led's in their AUII XR or the like yet?? Couldn't immediately find anything. If they have, is their a tech thread on it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks alot mate. Much appreciated. Has anyone actually done this. Does it look alright. How do the needles look. If they look pretty crap, how can you get them to look good. If there is any pictures available of the finished product it would be great. Thanks
Leon.

A few of us have done this. I'll see if I can find some shots. If you go blue or green, and you have red or orange needles, you won't be able to see the needle very well. If you have clear needles with a red or orange stripe on them - remove the stripe and you can see the needles. Or use a red LED in the middle of the speedo (which is what I hve done) and you will have no probs seeing the needles, plus the lights go from blue to purple to red and back to blue.

Try Fordmods for all the lighting in an E series.
