i actually went and bought bulbs today to change the entire interior color of my car to blue and white, then i realized that i cant change the color of my stock radio, which will stay green, so theres no point in changing anything on the center console. so then i was jus gonna change the bulbs for the gauge cluster, and then ended up spendin 10 bucks on reg bulbs and i couldnt find LEDs. so i was like hey why not jus get a whole new cluster. what do you think of it

That particular reverse glow (with blue/red combo) is just to xmasy for me...its like freaking xmas ligths. IMO, one color (all blue) look much more sweeter in person.

i think it's alright. the all blue/green imo can be a bit wearing on the eyes after a while. just my weird eyes maybe.

IMO, the procarparts reverse glow gauges are the classiest.

Rich got those gauges from me, but I got them from ebay. Speedinfiniti is the guys ebay name. I wouldn't recommend buying from him though, he never returned any of my emails or calls.
