I am doing this as well. A couple bulbs are burnt out. I dont know what speed I'm going between 55-80. I'd like to get green bulbs, but I have a feeling it would look like your attempt at blue :dunno: So i think I'll stick to white.

What bulbs exactly did you buy? I have a 96 Ranger (same dash) (194, 161, 1815. And I am confused as shit.

These http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/store/index.cgi?action=DispPage&Page2Disp=%2Fmini-wedge.html
apparently work for the 194's (and i think 161's)...but theres like 25 different options.
Did you get plain WLED's x1-6? the WLED High-power, or WLED HP 360* ones?
And what specific white? They have cool, natural and warm.

I like the way mine look. I have everything LED except my headlights and the light under the hood. Pretty much all my interior lights are blue except for the idiot lights

The filter on the back of the gage cluster is blue.

It shines through green because of the yellow color temperature of the incandescent bulbs. Yellow + Blue = Green. :icon_thumby:
