I'm sick of this dull, yellow bleh illumination from the instrument cluster and dash. Is there anyway we can get a nice bright white light to eminate from the black dials.

I've never been a fan of reverse indiglos BUT I am looking for a "supervision" look.

Any suggestions??

duh, super bright light emitting diodes...(white)

I'll take a picture of my set-up it's awesome. It is so bright light leaks out of the odometer and tach readings and spreads (in my case blue) light all around the box. Also, when the fuel needle is at full I have it placed in a way so that light bursts from the tip of the needle 30degrees both ways. Looks cool...

This couldn't be done by someone, say you, and then shipped to someone ,like me, for a price, could it?

I dont want the white gauges. I'd like a strong white color with the OEM gauges.
