Okay, I'm not a real trinkit oriented person ... more of a purpose driven performance individual. But bare with me (oooo, nudity), I have a silly question.

Can the indiglo gauges be modified somehow to light up with a "white" background at night??

Reason being, I have Autometer gauges which are white faced and light up white at night too. I like that. I'd like to match the OEM gauges to them. I had thought of putting blue bulbs in the gauges and using the blue indiglo conversion, but the color blue is actually a little fuzzy to me at night and tends to appear distorted; and I don't like green.

I'm not sure how the indiglo's work ... any electronics guru's out there? Thanks.

Ask this in the general or technical section...you're in a turbo ka forum... I know you're new, but some of the "verterans" hate it when n00bs post in the wrong place...good luck! :ylsuper

You can do it yourself and use white leds instead of blue
