Has anyone changed their lights on their 4th gen gauges from the ugly green to super white LEDs?

if you search around online, there are companies that specialize in making OE replacement bulbs in all different colors of LEDs

trdcamrygracia,

oh.. so do they burn out quickly?... cuz i was thinkin about gettin the LEDs.. but they might not be as bright as the xenon gas ones. Have you tried it on your shifter ( i have an automatic). Is it pretty easy to get to the guage cluster?

...Also, how much of a drop do you have on your car, and what size rims? Do you need to get shocks for a 2 in drop or can you ride on stock shocksl without being camberred or too bouncy of a ride ... i know this isn't the place to ask this.. but it seems you may know the answer to my questions. =)

Thanks,

Sam
