You can use sticky film or a filter to change to color of the vacuum displays

Wish you showed how you solder the light strip for all the solder beginners. Looks clean though.

Looks way better man I look forward to doing this in my truck as well thanks for the video

Look up gel filters for lights n use red or pink gel film to make it white

How did you make your check engine, or any other warning lights perfectly blue? I tried this on my older silverado but with white led bulbs and it gives it this weird light green with light yellow since theres an amber film on the warning light, which makes it a weird color
