I bought the best and new bright white on autolumination.com, but it turn out greeny on the numbers and the needles and everything else looks great. The new one is suppose to b the widest and the brightest.

What's wrong? Looks good to me! Much whiter than the purewhites I got... but I think the dash layer on mine is slightly yellowish.

In reference to my reply (sorry forgot to bring it back to relevance for you) I think the dashboard layer is green, that's why it's coming up greenish.

Around the unleaded fuel only and between 1-2.8k RPM. Edit: I used blue bulbs in mine and it turned out great.

That's normal for LEDs. There will always be lightspots and darkspots with LEDs.

You just got the wrong LEDs is all. I always recommend the "wedge matrix" from Autolumintion.com or the "Super Refractor" from Velocity LEDs on Ebay. They are the ONLY LEDs I've seen that give a near perfect light distrobution. You're the first person I've seen try their new LEDs and it looks to me like they're not the best choice for our guages.

They're a bit brighter in person but you can see that the lighting is very even.

They're the 5 LED "Matrix" / "Super Refractors".
