No problem,
Two reasons I did this. I like the white gauges. and after I bought the leds they looked fine but I bought them with the white gauges in mind anyway. They were better to see with, and I painted my bezel holder a bright silver. Still not great. With clear leds they were great on the black gauges. I just have the dimmer all the way up I can still have them go darker. Figured they look better and able to see better too. I think the blue leds will look great.
