Worst thread ever: Speedo light brightness.

I was curious, at how bright you guys have your cluster light set. I have mine set low. Why? Speedo is ugly. I wish the radio/ac area could be controlled separately cause being bright is nice, but then the speedo cluster area is TOO damn bright.

Feel free to lol @ me, belittle, etc. All comments welcome.

Hmmm.. C55's cluster looks nice to me... As for A/C, radio, you can upgrade bulbs to LED ones..

55 cluster is nice. I have a 32, which has possibly the worst cluster ever.

is this a worse thread or worse cluster?
I have always referred my car's cluster as the speedometer for the visually challenged.

Yeah, the 32 cluster is pretty boring. The light that I think is way too bright is the fog lamp light. I usually don't use them because that little green light is constantly catching my eye. I may cover it up or remove it.

Thats why I turn down the brightness, keep the ugly to a minimum. But doing that makes the ac/radio controls really dim. Sad.


And keep my terrible thread on topic!

So you guys all admit that there is a use to your speedo in your car?
I have mine cranked up (C55)-my center section is so freaking dim (worse then the AC is on-wtf is that about?!) that I cant tell what the outside temp is.

They attempted to mimic the Mitsubishi Mighty Max dash but failed miserably.
