    Yeah amber really hurts my eyes so i converted everything to blue. Only problem is that my gauge faces are white... are yours the same? Really looking for some that look OEM but light up blue.

        See above... I'm thinking about changing colors around soon, maybe to a pure red or something.

          Not my favorite glass of scotch, but I have read articles were VW started using the blue illumination to ease eye strain at night. So I can understand why you did such a mod...

            Fidhle, agreed about the right lane thing, I don't ordinarily use it for passing unless I have been behind someone for a long time who thinks the rear-view mirror is just for hanging flowers on.

            The V1 setup looks good, definitely what I will have to do when I get one for myself.

                Hey guys, come to SoCal, we pass in any available lane. The roads are so nutty that we just swerve in and out of slower traffic like in 2f2f.

                  When one has incandescent bulbs I think red or amber makes sense but with HIDs the blue just works. I would NEVER get indiglo gauges unless I could find some that were truly steller looking. The beauty of my setup is that it's still back-lit and it retains the orange plastic light transfer pieces so my needles are still red at night while the numbers are blue. During the day everything looks completely stock.

                      Yeah man, once I got the engine management stuff sorted the whole thing really came to life! I figure I can do pretty much any mod I want now because I can just challenge the haters to a race...

                      Well ok, maybe not ANY mod, but most of the aero stuff I've done... There's a reason why my car settles down slightly at 90+...

                              I'd get very angry at you for that if I wasn't sure you probably have two more guns on your person on any given moment than I do...
