Warning: Works for HD steering wheels only (4096 x 4096).
IMPORTANT: Each one of this mod's 2014-closer TEAM-NAME's f12013 folder contains it's own related modded f12013\simplefonts folder. Be aware that copying the 4 files inside any of these simplefonts folders will also change the dashboard display of many Classic-mode 80-90's cars, so make sure to backup the current Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\f12013\simplefonts folder in a safe location b4 installing any one of the TEAM's f12013 folder of this mod for the first time, in case you might want to restore the classic-mode 80-90's later on. You've been warned!
Also, keep in mind this mod is not intended to copy as a whole and expect every TEAM to be modded instantly like many other mods work. This (or these) mod(s) require individual copying of the chosen TEAM-NAME\f12013 folder to Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common BEFORE game launch (OR AFTER EXITING IT).
Note that this mod is most ideal playing with in Career mode, because in other modes you can change TEAMs often while the game runs, but for this mod to take effect when changing TEAM, the game itself must be exited, your new TEAM's modded f12013 folder must be copied to the Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common folder, then the game must be re-started, and your chosen team must be selected from there.

If a single location for all OLED-color combinations is to be easier to work with, instead of having to remember in which TEAM-CAR folder of this mod contains which such color-combination, that can be downloaded at this link:
