I hear ya…but the blue is a closer to what the cobalt's are, and I am not a huge fan of the white face gauges nowadays as everyone and their mother seems to have them. It was time for a change….and it was a relatively cheap and easy alternative. I must admit though that the stock bulbs put out more indirect light as their led counterparts. It's still not difficult to see the gauges at night though...and everyone that has seen them in person has asked where I bought my "aftermarket cluster" from.

WHen i put my white gauges in , the factory lights are quite easier to see. i guess the white just lets more light through???? And the new glass helps im sure.
