Yeah they are really bright! Soon I will install a dimmer... There are 14 total 3mm LED's in it and let me tell ya, THEY ARE BRIGHT AS HELL. The needles actually GLOW!

if you have a dremel, you should sand off the tips so you dont have straight rays, and have a more distributed light beam
that is looking kinda bright, shaving off about 1-2mm of the tip will look flush with the black trim and look clean and not so bright

I have led bulbs in all my internal lights, but that is a bit much man. I do give you props for the effort though, I know a good amount of work to make it look clean, and if you like it, then I totally approve, looks good, maybe it's not as bright without the camera, but it's hard to tell. Nice custom job though, it's different

someone mentioned killing the LED's a bit.. try that. if it wasnt so bright maybe it would look decent

i took out the oem light bar, and put a small blacklight in there, which has two blue leds at the end of it. And no you cant see it during the day...its hidden...the bar fits perfect.
