I have been researching about doing the LED upgrade to my guages. There are a lot of different lights out there. I have ordered a few lights from Superbrightleds.com and seem to work great...But have not had that good of luck with the exact sizes. Can anyone help. I have the right bulb style but there looks to be a ton of variations to them... Anything will help. I think the led's are the way to go to make my S13 coupe a lil more unique. Thanks in advance

Man, those look pretty good. I'm looking at doing the blue or white bulbs. I'm afraid that the white bulbs might be too bright. The link was great as well!!! Can you change out the color of the needles as well?? Do you guys know how hard it is to put in the JDM faces to the gauges as well. Sorry for all the questions. First time with a 240. I came from the Datsun realm. Have plenty of experience with the KA but nothing like these upgrades. In fact hopefully will be doing a motor swap by the end of the summer to my coupe.

the needles are originally orange plastic. The white light just amplifies the orange. Red bulbs make it look more red but its still orange.
