The needles are a bit dull & might be hard to read a night.

Yeah im getting some EL paint to do the needles with, so they will glow blue as well. That shot isnt with normal gauge lights illuminated either so they will show the normal needles better.

Just an observation, the numbers between factory and your new ones don't match.
ie, your speed at 80mph with the new gauges will actually now be closer to 85mph due to the different positioning of the numbers compared to stock... Have you corrected for this as I do notice the needle sitting a bit lower after the new gauges were installed
If not you will be caught speeding by about 5MPH every time you pass a camera / radar as all the numbers are advanced 5MPH on new faces.

Yup noticed that already, cant say i speed too much either way but cops are pretty lenient to 10kmh over @ 100kmh so should be ok. These are going in my track car anyway so wont spend alot of time on the road :D
