damn that is pretty cool

MazdaManiac 05-20-2007 02:18 AM

That is cool!

The stock color is superior, but the fact that you can change it is nice.

Blue is a bad choice since the human eye has such a difficult time with it, especially at times when we are on rods instead of cones.
Amber is the most legible color in low light - that is why they use it in airliner cockpits and such.

myriadshalaks 05-20-2007 08:25 AM

i like the radio and heater, but the gauges maybe you should leave alone. i mean, that blue red thing they got going is pretty hot.

Exactly. Blue also causes eye strain over long periods of time. Looks nice though. Too bad you won't share though. I could do a write up if anyone likes. Done the light swap many times.

Clavius 05-20-2007 10:43 AM

That is just wow!! Wicked Pissa!!! Meh jealous.. I'd do it myself but I'd just blow my car up somehow.

chrism 05-20-2007 10:47 AM

Clavius 05-20-2007 11:04 AM

When gas drops back down to 2.50 I will lol.. it reached over 3.10 for the good stuff earlier this week and is alredy up near 3.19 yesterday.
