Very nice, me wants!

LED illumination is one thing but how did you get the digits on the LCD to turn blue too?

just took out the original bulbs that were green in the back of the dials and replaced them with my blue tiny LED ones...when my indicators flash they are also blue same as the message centre on the trip computer.. thats all blue too.....

That looks great. Blue back lighting even works in the older cars as well

The older cars had lamps with a blue coating on them (at least my -87 780 does).

The 740's like mine were a green colour but same sort of thing as the blue coating. I changed them for blue leds which I like a lot more.
