I played with some LEDs for the backlight and status lights.
Most of the status lights were ok, but the neutral light is now more of a blue/turq color than green, and the fuel amber is more of a washed out amber. The intensity of the leds with the blue tinge they give off seems to make the colours go off. So if you plan on changing these, its prolly better if you get leds of the correct color first as most of the white ones are sold as Xeon White which is bluish.
Ive yet to actualy to try the backlight at night, but the problem i can see already is that the clocks are going to be very bright around the edge of the tacho and speedo. I may play with modifying the led head to try and divert the light.
