nice. the red makes it bmw-like.
yeah wouldnt it be kinda hard to read? i guess it dont really matter though. all your basically looking at is the needle and where its pointing. my eyes would hurt after looking at those things for a day.

Aw that sucks Kragen autoparts doesn't ship outside the U.S. Oh well guess I'll have to find another place. Here's a question if I get the blue 194's is it gonna make that big of a difference cause don't the 194's behind the cluster come tinted in blue already and they show up white??? So are these truly blue and not masked blue like the stock bulbs???

The brand i got had red and blue ones, i'm pretty sure that the blue ones would show up blue. i think your talking about the Hyper white bulbs, look blue but burn white with a hint of blue.

nice....red is a good color since it does not mess with your night vision.....and im not talking goggles......but ability to see in the dark.

I might just do that....not sure tho.

i might go with a green scheme since i will be putting a modded xbox in my car.

hmmmmmm......

One note, For some reason i blew my tail lights fuse,7.5. I really dont know what caused it. In case your tails, corners and fount turn signal don't work after changing the bulbs. CHECK THE FUSE.
