How well do the red needles light up? And are the numbers as legible as before? Is the light distrubuted evenly throughout the cluster?

Thanks!

Looks nice! The original LED color is a bit dull.

How did you do the install and where did you get the LEDs? Have you tried to do change the LEDs in the AC unit? Thinking about changing mine to red.

The place I got mine has a red kit as well.....The install wasnt hard...you do need to disassemble the gauges, but its not hard. The AC unit is next, I would imagive its just 2 LED's similar to the 3 in the gauges....
