Has anyone changed the gauge and HVAC lights with LEDS?
I did this on my BD Legacy but not on the girlfriends BC.

I've changed the gauge lighting but not the HVAC yet. I've also changed the ashtray light, dome light, glove box light, map lights, trunk light and more to L.E.Ds. Only issue with changing the gauge lighting is there will be spots that are brighter than other spots aka hot spots. Also, since the back of the numbers are a light green it might make whatever color you choose look off. Blue shows up pretty good

Majority of them are 74. It's six of the 74 ones. Two of the bigger ones. Here's a link to give you an idea of what bulbs and what they look like and prices:

Red shows up pretty good, too. I changed everything out to red except the HVAC.

I just changed mine in my hvac Because had to re-solder heater connection pins on the circuit board.
