Stig, FYI... I'm leading a group of Porsches to Watkins Glen for opening day on April 16. The drive thee is great and we get some laps in on the track. On the way there we pick up a group in Rochester. All in all we end up as a group of ~ 50 with reserve time on the track. Interested? Let me know.

Default RSA Gauge Face Green on Black @ Night

As promised, two night/dark pics of these new gauge faces, Green on Black.
Some notes:

1) The backlights are new SUPERBRIGHT LEDs. I would estimate they are 2-3 time brighter than the OEM incandescent bulbs

2) The LED have a couple of "Hot Spots" on the tach, near 2 & 7.

3) the color of the LEDs is cool white. I would prefer a more yellowish color, but they are not available from SUPERBRIGHT.

4) I'll live with it but may change back to the bulbs to get more of a retro green with the yellowish bulbs.

5) Nonetheless, I'm VERY satisfied with the graphics result and cost.

What bulb style did you order? Are they direct replacements? Thanks

Two of them seem to be turned a little.
