Exclamation Gauge cluter. Please help.

I wanna change the gauge cluster on my 89 1500. No one makes a cluster with blue in it. I want blue to match the LEDs that light up my floor boards. Please help if you know anything about this!

No, it has a lightbulb just like everyone elses, but when you take the cluster apart. there is a peice of green plastic between the light and the guage face. And you cant take that out. So i need a newer style that will fit my rig. Can you help?

well i know that with mine that green sheet that over lays the cluster is just for the turn signals, because i have LEDS in my cluster and no matter what, the turn signal still is green, and things like the engine light stay orange no matter what color the bulbs are, so are you sure that the bulbs wouldnt make a difference?

I dont care about that kinda stuff. like my Spedo and oil pressure and engine temp and battery guage and fuel is all i wanna change. I think if i get a dremel or something in that nature and cut out the green plastic and then try a colored bulb maybe it will work?

whoah!, before you cut anything, please take a picture first. are you looking to change the background colors or the needles? and are the notches for your speed white? or already colored. if your going to change led's i may be able to help you on that but i believe all yours should be bulbs and accessible without cutting

The green is what tints the gauges. The clear bulb is not shown.
