Blue Led Interior Conversion Finished
Well, I finally finished this project. I have been researching the gauges, leds, resistors and components for over 4 months. After finally organzing everything and ordering the correct parts, I was able to finish the interior in blue. Every switch, gauge, and button are now blue. The needles, obviously, remain the stock red color as well as all warning lights. The gauges themselves were a very difficult matter to deal with. After months and months of trying to find a company that made gauge faces for the 350z with clear lettering, I finally got in contact with Alex at BlackCatCustom.com. His company is now able to offer ANY gauge face combination you can dream of, including a wide assortment of face coloring, font coloring, and font choice. For my personal faces, I ordered white faces with silver lettering. This allowed the blue led color to shine through untainted, which is a major issue with the stock gauge face. Feel free to ask any questions or post comments. I have also taken pictures of every resistor that needs to be replaced, and I will soon have a complete parts list for those of you who wish to do this yourself. 
Enjoy
Enjoy

are you also going to be doing the window and door switches. Havent seen any z owners with those done. but with my old car i replaced the leds in the switches and overhead console. Not sure if the z is possible also or not.

Hopefully I will be able to find white/clear needles out of a wrecked lexus or something. I want to run blue needles. I don't like all of the different colors. Here's a few more pics. Parts list coming soon! I just need to find time between classes.
You can also see how clear the font is in the last picture.
