white is the best

if u're succeed, tell us
if the thing is broken, tell us not to change the bulb
sounds wise eh?

do you guys know why the gauges are red/amber?
its because it allows you to see the best. Red allows your pupils to dialate the most, thus allowing more light to hit the retina. More light hitting your Rods/Cones = better resolution. That's also why street lights are amber. BMW also uses the amber gauges.
