Brz gauge cluster conversion
 
I am trying to change all the red gauge cluster and hvac lights to blue. I know how to get to the leds and how to solder on new ones. My question is about the resistors when switching from red to blue lights. I think I have to change the resistors, but I'm not sure what resistors need changed or what they should be replaced with. Anyone have any insight?

I would talk to @acree he has done the conversion.

I sent him a pm a couple days ago, but haven't heard anything back. I'm not looking for a step by step with pictures, just a nudge in the right direction. I have replaced two leds in the hvac controls, and while they work, I'm holding off on the rest for a while in case they blow in a week.

You don't have to change resistance when doing LED lights, just make sure they are similar, ie: size and pin count.

My only concern is that the blue and white leds use significantly more voltage than the red. And I've seen posts on the same process for Tcs that told you to change out certain resistors.
