put white LED's in my gauges (pics inside)

well heres the auction of what I got
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEWN%3AIT&rd=1
I thought my tach had the same bulbs but when i took it apart it has tiny little bulbs that are soldered in there
but anyways heres a few pics, i also put them in the turn signal indicators and removed th green screen, they look like a really bright circle on camara but they are still the arrow shape and look good in person.. its hard to get a good pic or them all at once, I have a 13 1/2 inch steering wheel and no tilt

Re: put white LED's in my gauges (pics inside)

looks like the light is bleeding thru since you removed the grenn plastic cover over the turn signal indicators.I have used the red plasic plastic cover used for the high beams for the signals before and it looked pretty neat, not white but different.

Re: put white LED's in my gauges (pics inside)

The ones I have are 1895 (like mini 1157) bulbs. And I can not figure it out how to make it work . 1LoC10 would you happen to have a pic of the plug where you lights plug in and the back of your cluster?
