Amber or White Face Defi?

Wondering what others are using, most of you guys are going to say Amber because it almost matches our dash correcT? But I personally do not like how it makes our dash look so ugly [too dim] in comparison to the gauge itself. It matches the STI perfectly, but our Evo's not so much. So i decided to go with the white face. Thoughts? Opinions?

Me personally I like the white face gauges. What I really want to pick up if Defi will release these to the US would be this...





I'm working REALLY hard in bringing a few of these over but its a waiting game. However, for the time being the whiteface is a much cleaner look IMO.

actually the amber matches the evo very nicely so long as you turn the brightness down a tad

Why would someone make a post about this? Choose a color and get on with your life. Not trying to be an ***, but this really seems like a waste of a thread.

Those who want to match the factory cluster better. I am talking a slight drop in brightness

Try using different resistors on the illumination wire. That would be the only thing that would make sense to me. Only problem is, the resistor will heat up, so make sure you shield it accordingly.
