just curious, but if you have such nice red clear tail lights...why not clear corners? I like the auto shifter and door lights, but the dash is a little dim (cameras have problems picking up LEDs, neons, etc, so i understand if its just a bad pic) thanks for the referance man

I'm lazy ... I'll update it next summer.
The push in LEDs I used on my meter (1-LED type, 4-LED will give you hotspots) are not as bright as the bulb with condoms. I wish it were brighter, but the blue is not as easy to see as the white. I still like it though.
Brightness: White > Blue
Clarity of gauges: White > Blue
Loving it: Blue > White
Chrome gauge rings add a subtle blue ring around. I bet with indiglo needles, that thing would look sharp. Reverse indiglos would be my preferred choice but it's too much work.

ooo, im glad you dont have orange corners the car looks very nice. I understand the blue being more difficult, but hotter situation. ive gone through that with a lot of lighting.

Reach in and just under the PRND2L indicator, you should be able to trace the wire that goes to the bulb.
Twist bulb socket to remove from PRND2L housing, then pull out old bulb and install new bulb/LED. If using LED, test for polarity after putting it in to make sure it'll light up.
Installation reverse of removal.
Edit: Very easy. Sweaty palms slow things down, rag suggested to wipe hands dry. Actually, rag also helped to pull bulb out of socket
