blue guage problem... I have the MacEwen Silver overlay waiting at home for me to put in, and I'm thinking about going with the Blue color scheme with the lights... but in the pictures I keep seeing the Tach's red line area does'nt light up...
Does that only happen with blue lights on stock guages?
Just have to be a little EXTRA careful driving at night?

Don't know. But I've never used the red line to shift by. I always listen for the sound of the engine. The way the car feels and sounds tells me when to shift.
I can't imagine though what different overlays could make on lighting that area up, unless the coloring diffuses light somehow.

I'm really wanting to swap out my blue bulbs for the stock ones, I'm just too lazy. Before the overlays, the red line was pretty visible. After the overlays you can't see it at all at night.

Are you sure you lined them up correctly?
