White will be better than orange guarantee that. They are cheap, get a couple colors.

What Sparky said....try out the blue and white leds. I've got the blue in mine now and like it so far. I have the white ones also but haven't put them in due to their brown appearance in others' pictures.
Unfortunately all my other bulbs in my HVAC controls have already been swapped to white. I'll just get an orange set too to match everything else.

Can you post a pic of the blue? And they're just plug and play no 12v mod needed?

Not being a limited the white bleeds into it some, however still looks good, and like all pics it's better in person!

Sorry, missed your quote notification but looks like they've already posted a few pictures. It is just straight plug and play...no 12v mod required. I like the look of the blue even with my half-way done setup (haven't soldered any of the orange indicators or gauge lights yet, only plug-n-play LEDs for now). Honestly, planning to tackle my headlight retrofit before getting to that.

I ordered some from the warden_jp guy but still haven't received them and it's been about a week and a half. Did it take a while to get yours when you ordered them?

Sounds about right. I believe mine took right around 10 business days (~2 weeks).

Roughly 2 weeks, they are coming from across the pond.

what is "Georgia area" its a large state lol. Knoxville TN here I can do it.
I did the 12v mod for neo4 hp bulbs.
Pretty simple. Separate the positives on the LEDs. Solder wire to them. Run to a 12 volt source. I chose my accessory wire on my head units wiring harness. I used a male/female connector so I could remove it easier.
I originally tapped into the hvac wiring harness but wasn't sure which wire. (Always thought red or yellow was 12v) but I wasn't getting anything. So I moved to the wiring harness where I knew the 12v was coming from. I ended up getting the pos/neg backwards on the led like a dope. So when I had it wired it wasn't doing anything. Swapped the sides of the LEDs and viola.
In hindsight, a Multi meter would of probably helped.

How did you find the polarity of the LEDs? I tried using a multimeter and I also dont see any markings.
