RE: How to change the color of your gauge LEDs
vermino, i dont think that would work. since its multiple colors, it has more than the normal soldering connections (4 on this one vs. 2 on a normal). it would take soem advanced soldering to get it done.
ironfox, it wouldnt matter if the guage set is digital or not. if it has leds, then you can desolder them and resolder new ones on. theis can be done with most guages, either digital or analog, if they have leds. if the guage just uses lightbulbs(which is a possibility) then you can just buy some colored rubber "boots" that slip over the light bulb to change the color(i have blue ones for my car), or you can get a replacement "bulb" that is made up of LEDs and fits into a light bulb socket, which would work better.
hope that helps!

well the problem is that the guages for the 98 - 99 900s have a button style lights where you can take out these little plugs that hold the led.

im not sure what you mean. from the diagram it looks like it just uses regular small automotive light bulbs, does it not?

true but what you have to do is order super bright white or blue 3mm led bulbs and remove the old bulbs from the holder and put the new ones in. im in the progress of doing this to my 2000 F4 im just waiting on the bulbs to get here from Hong Kong and when i get them ill post a HOW TO!!

RE: How to change the color of your gauge LEDs
Ive got the blubs 3000mc blues, Ive take apart the guages and the led holders. The led sizes are identical but the wires on the blue leds are a bit bigger (I should post some pics i guess). Luckly theres no soldering at all, just unscrew the holder, take out the led and put in the new one.
