Not feelin' the yellow km/h numbers or needles, can you somehow make those red like the boost gauge? Other than that, I like it, it's sweet. Seems bright ass hell.

May be it is not that bright at all and because of the camera therefore it looks to be TOO bright. White is pretty nice. I have blue LEDs in my cluster and i love it.

too bright...

and green/red is used for a reason ;)

green/red is ugly and i' mdoing the same theme as my defi gauge/lexus

IMO looks good, but also, could be a little bit dimmer ;)

it's FACTORY YELLOW so there's nothing i can do about it, it's the same light source for all the gauges so there is nothing i can do about until i figure something out

wait...did you just use those HID bulbs in your gauge??? lol
Look clean Eric. I like white light. Makes the cluster very modern when lit up.
yes thats the whole point, don't want no (gay green lights up in my car like most mk3's)

it's the same as the fuel gauge, i'm still working on it


it's not everybody's cup of tea, but if it's nothing good about it, keep it to yourself i'm not here to please people

Awwww, and I was hoping to be the first one with true white illumination.... serves me right for putting off the etching of the boards.


Looks great!

So, did you wet sand the backs of the faces?
