i did to, but i couldnt see crap through them in the day time, i went to TAP plastics and bought a tinted peice of plastic or whatever it is. i guess i could tint the circles with maybe 40% or something.my CCFL gauges that i made a previous thread about... ARE still working. if anyone wants to know

i did the ccfl guages as well. awesome mod. How did you adjust your coolant needle?

BTW GET THAT TRD SHIFT ****, you'll thank yourself every time you drive the car. I got mine for like 37 dollars so if you haggle a bit WITH THAT MANAGER you can get a great price. It puts the oem one to shame.
