Good idea. Looks very good. IIM, one suggestion would be to lower the brightness a little.

Very awesome. I wanna order yellow, but I hate wiring stuff up.

I think i'll ask one of my friends to set it up for me, then take him for a drive afterwards to call it even, heh.

that's nice - what lights are they from aaparts? Did you put some in the gauges too? They seem a little more blue than the normal...

if you turn your dimmer switch down with the headlights on it turns the gauges blue from the LED's that are already in there
