I installed blue globes on my instrument cluster and i know its been discussed before but i can't seem to find it - where can I get brighter globes or how can i make the cluster not so dull? How would i go about scraping off the orange filter?

When you guys say 'frosting' does it only mean sanding it down a bit? and if so then how far?

With those narva LEDs you dont have to change resistors or fuses or any s**t do you?
May have to undertake a similar dash mod using them globes.

u dont need to sand them down, u just want to scuff the surface of the LED, and maybe just flatten the top a tiny bit...
