None of it is lighting? Or is it just not blue?

Because LEDs are very directional, they only put out light straight ahaid, bulbs however spread the light out evenly. I just replaced everything in my dash with LEDs but I just bought raw LEDs, not the ones made to fit in there. It took a lot of customizing to get it to look right. A LOT. I don't recomend anyone with less experience than me (3 years of college) do this.
