Default custom speedo

I plan on changing the lights inside my speedo assembly and was wondering if anyone could advise me on which color is not too hard to read in the dark and not too bright.

You completely had me thinking of something else. Sorry I can't be any assistance.

If your ever looking for custom swim wear though...

not sure if your going to change out the rear color plate. But if you do, change it to white so its easier to read and change the light color to blue or red

Ya, get those white overlays stationwagon has and get some blue lights, but make sure they arent to bright. You still want to be able to see outside the vehicle at night, but i think red would be awesome at night with the OD paint job, makes it more militaryish since they use red everywhere
