DEFI Gauge Light
« on: January 09, 2010, 06:04:53 pm »
Had my DEFI gauge for the past month or so...I still can't get over the blue dial not matching the OEM colour.

Has anyone tried changing the internal LED (assuming there is one inside it)?  Any suggestions?

It's not possible to change the gauge's led, don't try to do this because you can damage it if you open the gauge.

its electrolumiscent panel (sp?) not an LED I think, so not easy.
I run it all the time in 'dark mode' and it matches a bit better than full brightness.

what you could do is apply a clear but darker blue tinted film to the entire front (or get a cover of some sort), I reckon that could just nudge it towards OE  :happy2:. only thing it would do is make the red needle a funny tinge.
