Default cluster issues

the problem with the changing of the cluster color except buying one already done, is the fact that if you use a colored light bulb or LED the color of that buld shines a color that BLOCKS the other colors from being shown that well. hence the blue led's not showing the red needles or red in the cluster face. The hard part is getting the blue where you want it while letting the other colors show like intended. THe best one so far I think was the blue tape (label making tape) put over everything that I wanted blue, leaving the rest to glow red. but the stock bulbs weren't quite enough for my taste, but now that I have the brite white LED's (have a bluish tint to them) that set up should look killer.
