    Thats a neat idea. I have 10% tint on my windows so even in broad daylight it's very hard to see. I'm currently going the more difficult route and changing my dials to white facing with blue numbers and markings. Hopefully finish it today.

    Great idea mate, thanks for sharing !

    did you use dimmable LEDs and run them through the dimmer like the factory dash lights ?
