get green led's, it will give you the look you are after
How will they fare lighting up the red needles and red areas on the gauge face? Has anyone tried the green leds? Pics?

i dont think any of the led's will do a very good job lighting up the red needles.
think of it like this, you got the white led's which are pretty much the brightest ones you can get, and it didnt do a very good job...so any other color you go with is going to make them dimmer.
its unfortunate that ford didnt continue using the 194 bulb on the 99-04 cluster because there are so many led options available for those.
I'm waiting for someone to do a write-up on changing the 01+ Mach 460 from green to blue. That's the only thing holding me up from changing my center console over to blue.
I know you need a doner CD-6 from an aviator, but i don't want to spend the $$$ to be the test subject
Then again, if this shade of silver matches my IUP center console stuff, i might swap the whole radio in. I just don't want to pay $250 for it

Now....has anyone changed the color of the Mach 460 illumination??
I know the Lincoln Aviator uses the 6-disk head unit, but with blue illumination for the buttons and LCD screen. Has anyone tried to retrofit it??
Also, is this an Aviator only thing? Or does the Navigator come with this also? I have a Navigator 6 disc here right beside me.
Hey AmBo. First of all thanks for the great write up! I'm looking forward to trying this on my 99 GT. How did the brand new super charged LEDs work out for you? Would you recommend them over the tri-power 3s?
No problem!
I didn't like the supercharged LEDs. They weren't the same blue, they were more purple. I consulted AutoLumination about my concern and they highly suggested matrix II bulbs for our applications.
That'll be my next bulb purchase. Sadly, this will be soon as all the supercharged one's needs replacing already.
