Is it best to have Blue backing with White LED's or is it better to have White backing with Blue LED's or better still maybe blue backing with blue LED If anyone has any pics of what they have that would be nice as well Cheers Guys and Gals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Would appreciate a pic. OI received mine today with Dark Blue backing and am doing the Blue LED mod and fitted these along with my aluminum dash on the 5th Feb. The dials look superb. Is it possible to just has the stainless steel dials fitted, without the backing, and have the Blue LEDs shine through, or is that stupid?

mr lover Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Look wicked mate, how come the red still shines red even with blue leds? all the other coloured areas have there own bulbs which are left clear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovervi Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 all the other coloured areas have there own bulbs which are left clear so these parts dont have the blue backing but have the original colour backin (i.e. red orange green)?

tomssupra Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 rovervi - the people at Metal Monkey are great - give them a ring or email - talk with Naomi, she knows what goes best with what -they sorted me out with Orange and this is what I got...

grahamc Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 have a look at mine, in the signature link... white lights, coloured backing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Couple of stupid questions here: The link allows you to specify Import or UK Spec. What is the difference (for a dials point of view - all I can think of is the UK Fog light light) Same again you can specify NA or Turbo - what would the differences be between the two? I'm also presuming that if I specify the 220 MPH dial the calibration is the same up to 180, I appreciate that I wouldn't be able to get up to 220 without a TRD 220 Tacho or similar.
