Talking *LOOK* installed LEDs

Hey everyone, just thought I'ld drop a line and say that I just got done installing some LED lights that shine on my gauges. I will post pics as soon as I can steal someones digital camera and snap a few. It look sweet, I've still got a little bit of adjusting to do to them, but they're awesome.

this one turned out like crap, but it's the LEDs and the red from the gauges both turned on.

phantom- actually like I said the pictures turned out like crap, they really don't glare, I'm also still in the process of adjusting them so that they have just the right amount of glow to them.

prvrt- I figured that since I do most of my driving during dusk and dawn, and since I can see the gauges at all during those times, something needed to be done. I like what the other guy did with his except for all those extra wires running around. That was one of the things that I wanted to make sure that I avoided. Appreciate the honest feedback though.
