So, I just got an analog clock to replace the boring digital clock in my car. But I'm so over green lighting, so I replaced the bulb with a 5-way blue LED. Looks pretty badass at night. If only my photography skills could demonstrate how much cooler this really looks.

Wow, you mean its actually bright enough to be able to read all of the numbers at night? I can't say I'm a fan of blue lights but my clock is a pain in the butt to read at night, even with a new bulb in it. For you guys with the digital clock, if you can score an analog one at the junkyard it will swap right in for the digital.

Yeah, it works surprisingly well. Its actually brighter than the stock bulb that it came with. Blue lighting doesn't look too bad when you've been living with a blue interior and every car you've owned for the last 6 years has had green lighting.

Nice mod.
Very unique! Can you get a zoomed-out pic of it in the dash instead of just the clock itself? I'd like to see how it flows with the rest of the interior
