Did some more experimenting on my instrument cluster. Which colour should I go with? And yes, the door open indicator works for both (the blue OD has the passenger door open to verify). Also working on eliminating the hotspot.

I would try red, but have no LED's in red.

Who knows, maybe I'll get bored and work on converting the blue to white on the Speedo!

Right now, I'm leaning towards white. I have blues in it right now...and I just dont know. Maybe if the speedo was white......Hmmmmmmmmm.

looks good in blue sir just eliminate the hotspots and it'll look uber sweet! do you plan to replace the whole dash w/ blue LEDs too? it would take a long time but looks REALLY nice imo. Tatewaki (sp?) has that setup.

Looks like it will be blue

Ok, for now I guess I will stick with blue. If I dont like it, then I can always go back to white. The camera doesnt show it too well but it looks better to the naked eye, especially now with getting rid of the hot spots (camera is overexposed). But the true test will be in the day time tomorrow to see how bright it is. The experiment goes on...........

ahh you bastard, ahead of the game eh?

Now I can see why you would think about going for white instead... since you already have white LED's behind the speedo/tach (didn't really notice that before because the blue stood out too much :P ). But yeah, see how it looks tomorrow, I think the blue might be a bit hard to see in daylight, so in that case I would recommend white.

And damn at first i thought it was 1F over there... then i remember only the stupid united states still uses the english system
