Re: Project Lex
The back lighting is all white LED now, compared to 90's style yellowish-greenish-white back lighting. If you look at the odometer, they didn't touch that, so good comparison of seeing the old color to the new color. Just makes it look a lot more modern if you see it in person.
And 2 of the needles were completely burnt out (gas and temp needles), and the tach needle was starting to show signs of dying as well. The cluster is basically pitch black, so you need it to be lit up, even in the day time, to see anything. So those needles being burnt out were kind of annoying. Each of those needles has something like 10 LED's in them, so it's actually pretty expensive to fix. So what they offer is just their "fire tip" option. So instead of paying for 10 LED's in a needle, they just install 1 LED at the tip, so just the tip is lit. So they did that to all the needles with red LED's.
And they let you custom pick whatever color LED you want. I just went with white and red as I thought it was a simple and clean look.
