Exclamation Here they are!! My super bright gauge cluster -PICS-

It really didnt take to long to do this. I just got really tired how the stock gauges are so dim, I got the gauge color to match my Defi gauges, but it was still to dim. So I decided to do this to brighten things up a bit. Everything is behind the plastic lens, I used LED white lights, and I think I got the result I was looking for. And they dim with the dimmer switch. Its a little different But I LIKE IT!! Let me know what you think.......

Nice, but you do realize that you can adjust the brightness. For me that is more than enough to see in the dark.

I can understand why you would say that, I turned up the exposure on my camera to get the full effect, They are not as bright as you see them there in the pics, But if I turn my dimmer up all the way they get BRIGHT!!!

Oh, I meant the stock cluster, but oh well. Nevertheless, you did an awesome job, and it looks really clean. I wouldn't need it, but it is a very good effort. Especially good for people that can't stand the stock cluster brightness.

Ohhhh Heelllll Nooooooo!!! Cmon bro, I give you one credit for originality but I must substract some points for having the most anoying dash light I ever seen.

Don't get me worng, the job is clean and it looks like you took your time but you should had some red LEDS instead of those white bright ones.

I would have to say, no(don't get offended )
