LED Dash Color?

I'm sure this has been covered, but if I want to convert my dashboard lights to LED's (194's) if I got the Amber bulbs would I still get the green color? I want the green to keep it consistent with the rest of the interior.

no it will not be green.

as long as you get super bright LED's, you will be fine and it will not show up as green when lit

But I want the green, what color of bulbs would I have to get to keep the green color? I'm concerned that if I get green LED's it will be way too green. I want it to match the factory radio.

if you want green, get green LED's but i can guarentee you that it will not match the factory radio since LED's will always be WAY brighter. if thats your goal your better off leaving it the way it is

In my opinion...The brighter the better, that's my one complaint about my factory setup!

you might be able to use a white led next to a green one.. kinda wash out the green a bit. you'd have to experiement a little to get the right shade you want.

My solution. Buy an aftermarket radio. :P

You can probably get some aqua color LEDs which would be pretty close. My navigation has blue LEDs with yellow filters over them to get the right color.
