Your LEDs are a lot brighter than mine, is that because of the white instead of black or just better bulbs lol Image

Em i think it might just be the white. also its the photograph. white reflects light so when i take a photograph on a fone the white makes the light seem brighter on my fone. can you see the numbers that well when u actually look at it?

Thanks lads. :) ah it could be better. i might get a better job done when i have more time. they were kinda hard to fit. cause the print out are the exact same size as the dials so i had to cut bits off to get them to fit.

Not all the time, sometimes have to focus a bit to much to tell properly

yeah i was thinking that, the reason i made white dials are because i couldnt read the speed at night, it was the kph i couldnt see. but when i took a pic of the black dials it looked alot better than when i looked at it. so now with the white dials i can see so much more clearly
