WhiteBazer01 and I hung out in the humid heat in SFV / 818 yesterday for our team LED workshop. We didn't intend to do 13hrs of work but (speaking for myself) I had learned a lot from Paul and enjoyed the knowledge he shared w/ us.
To any that NEED to do LEDs done by Paul, my suggestion is just do it....he's a perfectionist and the work performance is top notch. He finally took pix of the 1st tC w/ the 3rd brake light yesterDAY & yesterNITE and he should have pix up when he recoveres from lack of sleep.
There's also cool stuff for xBs coming in the near future. So xB owners make sure to check these pages for the new mods.

Hmmm... Could it be possible to use those multicolor LED's for the center console and gauges? I live in Bellflower man, and I'm so hyped to get this done... I tinted my third brake light with nightshades, and since that stuff has a red tint, I think the blue my show up a little funky. If so, I could just take it off with Nail Polish remover.

hmmm... its not impossible, but it will be very difficult. Very difficult. to the point where it would not be worth it. you wouldn't use these bi-color LED's, but they do have bi-color surface mount LED's.
As for your tinted 3rd brake light, you could try to remove it that way, but be careful not to mess up the lens.

you can try that nail polish remover, but start in a small test corner. If it works good, then use it. Otherwise, see if someone is willing to trade you for a stock lens.
