This is something I think I'd have to see in person before I decided I didn't like it.

Who thinks I should get what color?
Pink!

Do none of these people understand the concept of night vision?

It's stupid... there are so many gauges out there that just light up really bright in some ostentatious color... yeah, when I'm driving at the middle of the night, I really want to have bright-as-**** lights shining into my face from the dash, that I have to squint to read because it's black letters on a bright background.

Give me the OEM gauges any day of the week...

They're actually blue letters. Look closely. You'll also notice the blue if you try and put white LEDs or bulbs in the gauges.

True since they reverse at night. My needle reverses too ('95-'96 have white/black needles instead of red).

I guess the stock black on white SE gauges aren't "type-R'ified" enough for some.

Honda guys dont even do things like thisanymore, at least now they leaving rice behind and swapping JDM clusters and stuff. So we dont want to go back to "teh FaST aNd fUrIuOS" right? .Get some led bulbs or something if you really want to mod your dash. My 2 cents.
