I hear that you can scrape the orange off the stock needles. Then just buy the blue led's.

Look at www.teamcelica.com [teamcelica.com] they have a lot of information on how to change the color, or you can buy the kit there for like $20.00. thumbsup

YOu just need to remove the orange paint off the needle.. paint them with tranlucent white or blue paint...
And changed the LED in the back of the gauge face...
