   lol you couldnt put HID's behind your dash, the bulbs are huge, and you would have about 10 balasts...
   
   You can put LED lights behind your dash, look at the top of this part of the forum in the stickies and there is a big that tells you how to do it

   SMD Leds are bright enough tbh, you can get different voltages of them too

   if you did manage to fit HIDs in your dash dials, you'd most probably be blinded the first time you switched them on resulting in you crashing into a ditch
