LEDS
 
I know there's probably a thread about this but i cant find anything. Basically i wanna do plug ins but don't want to scrape off the green filter on the back. if i get blue LED's and just plug them in will it light up blue and vise versa with other colors?

well without wetsanding the green off its gonna have a blue green look.

04RangerDave 04-19-2011 06:56 AM

so if i just sand it off and don't paint the paint on it it will look clear blue?

I've used green & blue led's in my cluster, never sanded the overlays....
Mine was green OEM but the blue led's look pretty snazzy too.

I've still got 2 sets of those blue led's left if you'd like a set, just let me know.
