Oh yes, this seriously dwarfs my speedo cluster brightness now....

L.L.S. is the man and does outstanding work!

Everybody needs to jump on this...

My speedo is actually brighter in real life. For me, it's a perfect balance.

The dimmer doesn't work with the speedo just yet, but it's being developed as we speak.

Just don't hold your breath. it'll be a while. radio is in operation right now, but undecided on it's future. We never release something unless it works as it should. The climate is a great upgrade for people no matter what, but especially sweet with an aftermarket head unit, as most have.

Pics of the last time we did the speedo:

http://lextech.org/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=1

All in that album are pics of the speedo, radio, climate....... We tackled the climate and got it to 100% functional on stock functions. It is all we are releasing, and no set dates for anything otherwise, though we are always designing and working.

Damn that looks good
I seriously can't wait to get this done - hopefully enough people will show interest to make his continued radio/speedo development worthwhile.
I'm getting my blue climate soon - then I'm doing the radio and speedo blue to once he's got them figured out

Have you done the gauge cluster in blue as well? That blue on the HVAC controls looks very nice!
