Close to correct color, but way brighter. Can still dim it down to get the old original "dimly lit look". Although WCCC does not sell the LED equivalent for the 1445 Shifter selector and heater controls bulbs, It is made by the same manufacturer of this part. You just have to go to the website listed on the packaging after you order this bulb set. Then order the 1 SMD (Bright) or the 5XS SMD (Brighter) with the BA9S bayonet type base in the "Warm White" color(which is closest to factory color once the blue filter is put over it. Its not a quick job to take apart the whole dash to replace these bulbs, but if you have to replace a burned out bulb, you might as well do the whole set in LED, not only do they make the dash look better at night, they supposedly way outlast the incandescent bulbs so you won't be doing the job again anytime soon...
