I recently brought some blue LEDs from Jaycar already in bulb holders. Anyways half my dash is aqua blue (speedo side ) and the other half is blue (tacho side ) I've taken the LEDs out and tested them they are all the same colour (blue) then when I put them back in different parts of my dash were aqua blue and blue WTF is going on lol , I've done the led dash conversion before and never had a problem , the LEDs are frosted,
Could it be the LEDs are further away making them aqua ? Please help Thanks

Sweet thanks mate I'll check them out , I got some from jaycar the sarvo for my trip computer, it's got me puzzled the LEDs are blue and when I put them in my dash my speedo side is aqua blue and half my tacho is the blue and so is the oil pressure but my fuel is aqua blue wtf, and I had the el Dash facia in my ef and had blue LEDs and they didn't turn aqua, maybe the tickford dash is different to stock el dash, it's got me puzzled , take my tickford dash facias out and put gli el facias in and see what happens

So wouldn't u have to use either a black or white bulb holder cos the cluster bulb holders u can't pull the led out with out taking the terminals out, it's hard to explain but what I'm saying is with urs you will have to use a black bulb holder as the others dnt come out , and when they do their either broken or the terminals come out , sorry it's kinda hard to explain

Yeah cos I brought LEDs and resistors off eBay and soldered my own blue LEDs and with the dash illimation globes they wouldn't remove from the holder when I pulled them out the terminals /tabs wouldn't stay in the holder so I couldn't solder the wires to anything so I went to the wreckers and got black bulb holders the globes pull straight out , so easy fix ,
Just waiting till it's darker then I'll try out my LEDs and give feedback Cheers

I know why my LEDs are aqua blue the el tickford facias on the back are white and the el standard ones are grey, so looks like I cant have a blue dash with tickford facias, cant have the best of both worlds , unless I make a grey filter out of paper
 , when my pc is working I'll put up pics of the two dash facias
