Default dash LED ,amber to blue conversion, resistor help!

I tried contacting the LED king about this matter but no reply so I'm asking anyone that has this knowledge to give me some help. I already put the blue LEDs in and they work fine but they are not bright enough due to the fact that they are not running at 3.5v. They are only running at 2.0v, because that's the voltage amber LEDs use. So my question is which resistor (ohms rating) and in what location do I have to change. I know there is a thread on this same subject already on the site but it only has info on the dooors and ac module, not the composite cluster (tach etc..) or triple cluster (oil pressure etc..) Thanks in advance for anyone that can point me in the right direction.

I thought the acree thread states that no additional resistors are required.

I would PM acree or the other guy that did his, treefiddy?

I thought that the acree thread used to have the main gauge cluster pics on it, but I looked recently and there werent, were they taken down or were they never there?

I can't say for sure either way. I already PMed Acree with no luck, but I will try treefiddy. Thanks a lot Brrcats.

I'm gonna do the tedious math myself and also find the locations of each resistor that has to be changed. When I get everything done I'll do a very extensive write up on it. The whole de-soldering and soldering is not that hard to do if you have the right tools to do that type of work. I''l have a parts list and tools list to go along with the write up sometime next week.
