i had already converted all the clocks to accept superbright LEDS so i wanted to change the boost gauge to match, the only problem is this thing will not accept a conventional shaped bulb due to the internal coil and placing a LEd inside the buld tube just does not work..
so i cut out the back a little and glued on a 12led flatboard, and i think its turned out a little bit too bright..lol..everytime i looked at it i was left semi blind..









I have started installing the footwell lighting again though...its subtle and gives a nice glow..for me things like lighting is waht gives a feel to an interior, dim yellow lights are for a living room..i like a mixture of blue and blinding white light..lol..

the main beam bulb is bad enough for blinding you never mind adding more
