i got it hooked up to the ignition so when it is powered on, the EL would turn on.

looking at the green ambient glow from the dash, I think i might need to change it to some other colour to make it look nicer... not sure if this is nice:
Changing the dash lights is pretty easy, i did mine myself when changine to blue. The lights themselves are clear as standard, but there is a chunk of green plastic they have to shine through, giving the green colur. If you just want white light take the green plastic out, and thats it.
Im not sure, i got someone on pp1 to do my heater panel blue, and a guy on ebay did all my switches. I imagine its a similar set up, clear bulbs with green plastic in fron of them for the colour, though they could be grren leds so start with.
