Default Will this look good?

I am wanting to do the LED gauge cluster mod on my 2001 xlt. My question is seeing that I dont want to sand the green paint off of the gauge cluster and needles which color LED should I get?

I was thinking about green, blue, or white 5 SMD bulbs from superbrightleds.com

Im new here so please let me know which colors will look good without having to sand anything since that sounds tedious.

IMO nothing will show very well unless you sand. It is not as hard as it sounds. Very simple to do

Everything will still show through green without sanding.

I did the 5 led from superbrightleds.com
I choose the white because I like the look of white needles with green numbers.

I will post pics up shortly for you.

I didn't want to sand anything off honestly and I liked the contrasting colors so that's why I choose white. Looks 100x better than the stupid bulbs.. everything looks nice and crips and clear. I love it.
