Was thinking the same thing! Maybe if the LED's themselves were covered up from the drivers view (little piece of electrical tape) so that it just lit up the dash itself and wouldn't blind you each time you looked at the dash.

props for creativity, and a nice clean looking install. definitely not my taste though. now, if you could find a way to change the guages from red to white, that would be really sweet looking i'd bet.

Yeah I am already working on that. I have made small plastic shrouds that surrounds each LED light making it so the driver cant see the light source, they are very clean looking. I have also wired in a second dimmer to control the brightness of the LED lights.

I know this is not everyones cup of tea, but I enjoy doing things a little different. In my opinion it looks good, but the gauge cluster is not finished. There is alot more tweaking to be done to clean up the appearance. You might change your mind when you see it completed.

I tried to put the LED lights behind the gauge cluster, the results were just as dim as stock. So I went with this technique.

Just remember it is your car. What you like is not ever going to be what everyone likes. It is good to get a few opinions though.

doesnt look too bad, might have looked better if you could have hid the led bulbs to where it wasnt visible, but its a clean job regardless.
