Haha um, blue?! Looks neat. I got white LEDs and they looked like a lighter blue because of the film, so I took them out for now. Blue doesn't really go with my color scheme, but LEDs always look so much better in the clusters. See, it wasn't that hard to do was it?

Yeah it wasn't that hard with a little guidance and patience. A stripped socket and a bad view had me thinking those first bolts were circular and I didn't know how to get them off.

Yeah I could see how blue would pose a problem with your color scheme. I plan on getting some Cobalt Blue Gauges, Black leather front sport seats with blue stitching and a matching scheme on the shift boot, e-brake boot, and armrest cover. Topping it all off with a blue head unit and an LED flush mount made for our cars. Not sure how many of you have seen this, but I think it looks cool and haven't seen too many people have them:

It gives you a choice of a few styles/led colors and I've had my eye on them ever since I had my GTP.

This may be a stupid question, but do the LEDs go in the same socket as the stock bulbs? Or is there some soldering and other fabrication involved?

In your year (94) I believe you have to solder. But in the 97 or 98+ you just pull it out and replace it.

94 no. you will have to break the bulbs to get them from the holders and the metal wires on the led bulbs will have to be bent around the metal on the holders.
but 99% of the lights in my car are LED Blue the glove box is the only white halogen bulb
it should look like this.
you will also need to take the dash panel, both a pilar panels, and the other ones off to get to the gauge cluster. some people just bend the dash panel till it pops off but i didnt want to break mines so i did it the long way.

I recently got some LED's and when I put them in te lights don't work at all now so at night I can't see my gauges, then when I put back in the regular lights they don't work now either, so is there a certain way the lights go back in or where is the guage lights display fuse to see if it's burnt out? Plz help
