Has anyone done this? If so, does it look more purple than red, since they have a blue tint?

Did some searching and couldn't find anything. I've got some wonky gauges in my 98 and I'm going to replace the cluster, just thought this might be a nice update.

Mine turned out fine with no purple tint, they look like a crisp red.

I hated mine, they were red with no purple or blue tint but, you could see nothing with them. They were very dim no matter what style red led I put in it. I tried 4 or 5 different sets of red in it. Eventually I just put white in it. Thats just my opinion though

most of my Pontiacs have red dash lights, I'm use it & actually like/prefer it. obviously not washed out. wifes chevy has a blueish tint & it bothers me.

Red is easiest on the eyes at night. That's why they have used the red shade in many armed forces planes and vehicles.
