Very very angry!!!!
To make it short....
I ordered sport trac gauges and blue 194 leds. Took me 3 hrs to install the gauges onto my cluster 2 days ago. This morning the blue leds came in. and the best part...
I just spent 5 freaking hours taking everything out...scrapped the green off my new gauges...installed the blue leds...and it looked like total CRAP! The blue from the leds did not flow evenly at all and all you could see were 6 blue dots...with nothing else lit up.
So I take everything out after failing to come up with a good solution...tried alot of different crap. Anyways, so im $120 in the hole. I knew I should have left the sport trac gauges as they were....they look awesome even in green. I am so angry right now!!!
but yea, gonna order a new set tonight of sport trac gauges..until then i have yellow gauges..yuck!

i forgot one other detail...the only reason why i wanted blue gauges was so it would match my blue stereo...and wouldn't you know...the blue leds were a different blue...that being said i dont have time to mess around with paint or die trying to match my stereo
...starting to calm down a little now...lol..but still mad!

im too picky..everything has to line up just right and match perfectly

When I went shopping for a new HU years back, I was very picky about what it lighted up like rather then brand. I knew my interior lighting was green, and I didn't want anything flashy or that would stick out. I had gone with the Pioneer DEH-P3500 head unit. Like you, I'm pretty picky about the details. Everything needs to match and blend together.
