What's wrong? Looks good to me! Much whiter than the purewhites I got... but I think the dash layer on mine is slightly yellowish.

In reference to my reply (sorry forgot to bring it back to relevance for you) I think the dashboard layer is green, that's why it's coming up greenish.

That's normal for LEDs. There will always be lightspots and darkspots with LEDs.

You just got the wrong LEDs is all. I always recommend the "wedge matrix" from Autolumintion.com or the "Super Refractor" from Velocity LEDs on Ebay. They are the ONLY LEDs I've seen that give a near perfect light distrobution. You're the first person I've seen try their new LEDs and it looks to me like they're not the best choice for our guages.

All I can say is I'm happy with my blue "matrix" LEDs. Good luck finding something better.

They're a bit brighter in person but you can see that the lighting is very even.

it doesnt flash and at night it look really good

#22

Wouldn't it be distracting at night to? so much bright peripheral light!

I suppose if everyone thought like me, then people wouldn't have neons under the footwells, etc etc...

#23

when driving it doesnt effect me at all and under the footwells that doesnt bother me either it looks really cool tho

tangcla

#24

I just like driving with as little surrounding distraction as I can. I spose my Defi gauge and GPS are distraction enough in terms of bright light
