    Not wanting to sound stupid
    Would it take just a different colored bulb, to make the temp and fuel, match the orange light of the tach and speedo at night?
    If so, I think I would change those bulbs.....
    That would be enough of a mod for me

    There are 4 194 bulbs behind our gauges and changing the color of the bulb would change all of the wording like "TOD" and "Torque on Demand" and "P R N D 3 2 L" and the Odometer numbers and the trip numbers and the outline of the driveline/wheels in the TOD area, it would also slightly affect the color of the needles, but they are painted so it would be barely noticeable. In order to do the glowing needles you have to remove the needles and scrap off the paint from the rear of the needles and paint them to match your color of LEDs of choice or white like I did.

    Here is what it looked like about mid-way through my interior LED transition. As of this photo I still had yet to install the Blue Led glowing needles and white LED behind the gauges, and I now have moved all the buttons around and added a fog light switch. I need to take some more pics.
