I done this a couple of years back. It does look smart in blue, but I soon found I was getting headaches from the glaring blue light so I eventually went back to green, lol.

Make sure you get those needles put back on EXACTLY right or you'll be driving thinking you're doing 30mph when you're really doing 40 I had to use a TomTom to check my real speed and adjust accordingly.
