Go toss your computer out the window. It doesn't like you.

Man I have been trying to do this for years. Finally got it! PNRDL and TRAC are also blue, but the big one is the ODO and time. Man I love progress I've kicked around a million different ways to get it to work and look the way it should and it has never panned out like I wanted, but tonight I was bored and started drawing some plans and freakin' nailed it.

Heh I WISH! If that were the case we'd all have done it yrs ago. I had to remove several pieces from the cluster on and over the display, change the voltage of the cathode to make it burn a different color temp, then match the hue with led's and then add an overlay.

^ What a nerd! I love it!

On the other hand, when are you going to start on a retrofit for your headlights? I see you "copy pasted" from the is board, and made a thread in the lighting section.

We need a sticky, something of that nature, but more in depth, something like what HID Planet has...yet for newbs.

consult your lighting forum moderator They run those forums because they are the specialists in that area. Most I have ever done is plug a kit into my car.

One rainy day, when you have done every possible mod to your cluster/interior lights...you will find yourself looking at your cutoff line, and think to yourself. How can I make this better?

My cutoff is actually PERFECT. In-fact for no reason whatsoever it is the best cut off line I have ever seen in any car including my IS, my Mercedes, and my BMW with ZKW's.

Of course I have done much work to my headlights as "that thread" indicates.

Here's mine. I couldn't find a level place to take the pic, but you get the idea.

Reading the title, I thought you were sad

but...

turns out you came up with another mod to your cluster.

Is it really bright at night, or pretty easy on the eyes?
