Re: Blue/Red

There arn't any leds in the mkIII cluster, they use filters with little light bulbs.

I got little round LEDs from e-bay... 50 of them for $15 shipped from the UK, as I could not find anyone selling blue leds in calgary. You may want to as Brent before buying anything though.

You will need to know the size though and off hand I have no idea, I am thinking of turning my red needles to white though.
