Just wanted to post a pic of the guages. i love the way they look but when they are lit up at night they look a little weird but have to live with it. And the other gauges are the not cut to the right size so they didnt fit the way i wish they did. But all in all i love the look
Is this just the way you cut them or how it sits in the frame?? Also try blacking out the parts of the back sides of the gauges where the light is not supposed to be, maybe that will illuminate the needed areas more?
Just a thought

you guys have to take a look at the original face, they u will understand why the light wont come through properly even if you put 1000W reflector behind it.
i printed onto a sticker then pre-cutted, nice on daylight, **** at night cos its blocking the illumination everywhere, evenly:

a quality aftermarket face, same material as the original white s2/rs2 face with German TUV certificate:

and the back side of it, now u will see why this one is nice with illumination:

Original S2

AG off white face

I was just trying to figure out his problem because I will have the same one. I would get the avant aftermarket gauges but I need MPH not km/h.
