I like that it will be able to maintain the stock, orange color.

I do have one question ...
I noticed that in the last pics, the cluster brightnees is turned up to what seems to be to max but the modual seems a bit dimmer than the other displays.
If you were to turn the brightness down a bit like at night, will the new modual still be as visible as the rest of the cluster?
Will the new modual indeed be able to be dimmed along with the cluster?

Right now I am not using the dimmer feed, so the display would be the same brightness with headlights on or off. Now that it is in the car, that's one thing I'll experiment with to determine if dimming is needed (I have a feeling it won't, as the backlit LCD is not as bright as the speedometer).

This brings up another concern.
Since it is "not as bright......
Often in bright, anbient light, the stock gage cluster is hard to read. Is this also a prblem with the new modual?
Perhaps abient light does not effect it as much?

Is there an easy way to conect it to the dimmer feed?
