i could be mistaken but the green is usually from either a cap over the light like my wifes echo in which case you could do that, or the console display is actually a green tinted acrylic in which case you will need a custom sheet made

Mine are blue! Not LED (yet) but they do look pretty good!

The display actually has a greenish blue (mostly blue) tint to it, the yellow from the stock bulbs makes for the funky factory green. Blue or green comes out the best unless you want to go to the trouble of redoing that lens. Let me know if you have any questions.

PM Cepp on here for a kit or go to Super Bright LEDs - LED Products and Accessories and order the bulbs individually.

Hey Dual, did you do your a/c controls too? If so how?

Yeah. I just used two 4mm "NeoWedge Instrument LED bulb"s from superbrightleds.com

Is it as simple as the dash lights? I haven't really looked at them.

It takes just a tiny bit more finagling but its still really easy.

just dawned on me that if you wanted LEDs your console dimmer will probably be useless. I do use mine often

Yeah my dimmer acts as more of an on/off switch now. I got some LEDs from ISSPRO that worked with the dimmer when the others didn't

It would be nice if it worked but I can deal with it. I wonder if something like this would work?
