Ive done blue, didnt like it. Easy to see, but it reminded me of a hybrid. My car is the antithesis of a hybrid

I am testing out a new LED for the company I got mine from. Im not changing the color, they are staying red.

Really nice work! Looks great!

I have to get around to this one day. Still waiting to try on a spare cluster just to avoid downtime on the CL I guess.

I was also talking about the LEDs in the center console. Unless you think the thread title should be fixed, too.

I love the instrument cluster! The stock lights are lame. I wish I had the balls to undertake such a project.

I must be a bit confused with your original statement then, because the stock dash doesnt use LEDs, aside from the radio.

Thats what I thought as well, hence my first reply. Then he replied to that as though he was offended, so Im not really sure what he meant.
