I personally think white cluster and blue needles looks the best!

I installed blue led, but I only have half of them lit. the right side is dark. I tested with 9 volt battery and both sides were working just fine

Check the polarity with the multimeter. It may be off. Actually the voltage is 12 volts.

I use 9v battery for testing so the both sides lit up when I connect it to the ribbon one side powers left and other side powers right side. could the circuit board not send power to one side ? Or coul one of wiress on be responsible for it

no new pics as nothing has changed...yet. My temp needle needs to be redone as the LED blinks after it gets warm but other than that, it looks the same now as it did when I first did this.
BTW, pics are now working again.
