Yea I had the oznium strips and I hated them because 1. they were a pain to install, and 2. one burnt out so I had to take the cluster back apart.

I use these
(scroll down to "T1.5 series LED Twist Lock Lamp", and click "buy now". From there look at the "T1.5 Instrument LED bulb" and for the LED type select the high power SMD... brighter and wider beam than the other kind)

Dude your car is awesome. The "mismatched" trim looks awesome i think it looks better with a slight difference actually. Kinda like putting flat black on gloss black. I read the whole thread and it kept me entertained through an hour of work (on/off reading i dont read at a pre-k level LOL) How much are you looking to get for the lights?. Blue would be ok definately better than the dull *** lights it has now.

just finished up with my led gauges and replaced a fuse that blew. here is the result. what do you guys think? better with white or better with blue. If white looks good i will switch out my climate controls with white later on don't find it necessary to do them right now since they are still good.

Definitely the white.

You said you ordered your set of HIDs from DDM, right? Did you get the hi/lo H4's?

I like the brightness of the led cluster lights, but lots of hot spots.

Damn. If you got the hi/lo's you would be my guinea pig. Anyone with any experience with the hi/lo (bi-xenon) kit from DDMtuning?
