You can buy replacement bulbs for your interior lights(climate control,dimmer, and cruise buttons) at Radio Shack. Part #

I bought them from
SuperBrightLEDs.com. Its under the "
Component LEDs" section. They are 3mm White LED bulbs. You have to run resistors with them. I bought my resistors at Radio Shack, 5 pack for 99 cents! Here is a link i like to use to figure out what resistors you need with what LEDs:
LED calculator for single LEDs.

White, well... look at that white... its TOO bright imo. It even washed out the color of the needles. I don't like the idea of a flashlight shining at my face at night.
Amber/red is the best color to preserve night vision, I don't want to look at my cluster only to look up and I can't see shit because my night vision got fucked because my bright ass blue/white lights blinded me.
Look at his "before" picture, notice how the blue head unit is producing a lot of glare/over-exposure/ouchies?
There is a reason why most companies only use amber or white. Look at bmw, almost everything is amber. Gauge cluster has amber/white.

The pic was taken with a
Camera Phone. Also, the lights were turned all the way up to the brightest setting.
They are not that dramatic in person. You can also dim them if you think they are too bright but they are not that bad.
