Replacing White Gauge lights with Blue LED's

I'm looking to replace the white illuminating bulbs from the gauge cluster, a4 shifter selecter, heater control selector, lighting selector, fog lamp selector, door panel lighting and the defroster selector all with blue LEDs



I'm talking going to this = http://ledgauges.tripod.com/sitebuil...eledgauges.jpg

and this http://ledgauges.tripod.com/sitebuil...camarohvac.jpg

any part numbers / heads up would be AMAZING.

thanks.

I did mine with

194's.
Just gotta pull the stock white bulbs out, pry 'em out of the sockets, then solder these in place. Takes a bit, cuz the solder don't like to stick to the terminals.
Good luck

Oh, and the shifter plate and a/c controls, just get the regular led's and associated resistors. Takes a bit of fab on the shifter plate, drill through the white plastic, epoxy the led's in place, then wire 'em up.
The a/c controls, same as the guage face, just pry the bulbs out, solder led's in place.
Have fun

thats no thing. i work in an install bay and when theres downtime i'll get to it. come to think about it, i have a bunch of viper LED's sitting in my tool box.

do you know the appropriate resistance value of the resistors i should use?
