are those gauges kinda bright for you at all? ...especially at night? I've been looking at gauge styles for my own KA-T setup, and one thing that Ive noticed with that indeglow-type lighting is that it gets kinda bright inside the cabin at night, almost to the point where its somewhat distracting. I dont like it so bright that I can actually see things inside the car because of it... that's too bright...
Have you noticed that at all?
Have you noticed that at all?

I’ll try to explain this as best I could, the gauges come with incandescent bulbs with red and green covers, with the stock bulb its very visible but not so much “bright”, since the gauges I got have a black face, its not bright at all, I put in my own blue LED (which aren’t bright), and it is very saddle and almost dim, again because of the black face, if you were to get a white face gauge they will be brighter.masticatingcow wrote:fiznat, I was about to ask the same thing... I've been in cars with gauge setups that shine like nothing else. It's irritating, and I'm just a passenger! LOL.
This is what a Black gauge looks like with the stock incandescent bulb and a green cover.
its clearly visible but wont shine in your face.
If you are worried about that, get black face gauges and you’ll be fine,
The gauges are only a destruction the first week or so, then you get used to them.

lol... subtle?? hahaha
haha anyways, if the incandescent bulb w/ the green cover was visible, how come you went with the LED? I only ask because I have a gauge that is lit by a single incandescent bulb and I dont like the way it looks at all... sorta like a lampshade if that describes it at all. Were you unsatisfied with the look with the OEM bulb, or did you just want bling bling LEDs?
