Was that the mega bright gauge Wayne?

Nope, this one has a standard bulb so is no brighter than the other dash lights, it was only £20 plus £9 for the pod and some hose as required.
This was the led type lighting, it was so bright I am sure it could be seen from space :laugh:

I would say its brighter and not 100% match for the dials, also the needle is more of an orange than red, that said i love mine :smiley:

I wouldn't say so mine isn't but I guess it depends where you mount it :undecided:

They don't really match, but at the same time I don't get distracted by it as it isn't that bright. Not as bright as I thought it would be which is a good thing lol
Just on the odd occasion the sun can catch it and it can be bit :shocked: but it's like looking in a wing mirror and the sun catching it?
Prefer it there as its out the way and chavs won't try and race u if they see a boost gauge lol

so no one wants to tell me how to get the wires and vac line behind the vent then :sad:

blue gauges are hard to find and found these match the dash quite well camera makes them seem really bright but match dash really well.
-
same here the blue is a good match to the dash clocks but camera makes it seem a lot brighter
