Oh i know exactly what you mean, i'm a perfectionist too. Thats why i remade my gear shifter indicator piece. lol
i guess its the EX models that have that light, or new ones, idk but all i know is i looked the other day and my "auto" switch doesn't light up at all at night. :/
did you only get 3 leds for the gauge cluster? you do know you need 5 right? four white caps, and then a black cap that has a black wire going to it, that one is for the gas gauge.
and i wanna see pics when you get done. i only did blue, then white in my car, never red.
also, are you going to remove the paint from the back of the gauge faces?
