That's the problem with those gauges, they're so nice it makes the rest of the car look shabby. Try adding LED bulbs, really sets them off.

Hmmmm.....quoting a post no longer includes the image.

Sorry to hijack, but did you just add LED bulbs, or is that the LED conversion Jon does, Mike?

Excellent! He's doing my gauges now, and I opted for the LED conversion.
