You need some LEDs that LS1_SS sells and since you drive a Pontiac it is a little more involved. Ask LS1_SS for more info.

I have sort of the same thing as those hyper whites but not as... "hyper" and it gets annoying as hell driving at night with them on. 99% of the time I have them turned down to half brightness. It still has the same hyper white background but a lot less obtrusive glow... might want to take that into consideration for night driving.

Mine aren't as bright as they appear on the pic. I set my camera to a bulb exposure of about 40 seconds to make sure that every bit of light was recorded by the digital sensor. Mine don't annoy me at all.

Why do you needles leak out light so much? Just curious as my T/A needles don't have light leaking out the sides...

It looks like that because the camera was set to "bulb exposure" and it amplified and recorded the most minute trace of light. In actuality they look just like yours.

I know this is an old thread but damn that cluster looks good. I almost wish I got the NR's now. I got the Macewens and I dont think they will be that bright. You have pictures of these in the day time?

I have the NR's now. While they look awesome, they without a doubt could use these LED's.

Macewens lays over the stock black gauges and the NR totally replace that requiring you to remove the needles.
Heres the macewens.
