Interesting. Looks like a lot of work for sure.

Looks cool, definitely different.

It requires unsoldering and resoldering a lot of surface mount LEDs right?

saeedg48 · 04-03-2012, 06:54 PM

i kindov like the solar color better. maybe try a neutral color, a mild white?

wow, that looks real nice.

iirc, they found that the orange/redish color was the most easy on the eyes in the dark, which is why BMW went with that color. My lotus has same orange-red color as the 325.

you are absolutely correct. That is also the reason why the US Army use red to read map while navigating at night.
