lockwood dials with blue backlights

looking at buying some lockwood dials and putting blue led's behind them in place of originals
was just wondering if the lockwood easy fit kits are ok as i dont really want to be removing needles
also has anyone got any pics of the dials with blue led's as i dont want it to look crap as in blue patches everywhere, i want the light spread out evenly

1 more thing has anyone got a site where you can buy the leds listed in the faq

cheers

Re: lockwood dials with blue backlights

depends on the input voltage?if its 12V then you will need the correct resistor

edit:just re-read you are stating its 2.5 volt,yeah?then i would say a 3v would be more applicable.dpeends on how bright you want to go

Re: lockwood dials with blue backlights

the set for the dials will include 4 led bulbs...
and the set for the switches will change the window switches, and the led's for the wipers, fog lights, etc... however, the one for the headlights will need to be soldered.
