I like the clean and simple look of the stock cluster with blue LEDs. The only gripe I have is the orange Km/h numbers on the speedometer and the "unleaded fuel only" printed next to the gas gauge. I've already got a solution to that however.

Yes the stock gauges are boring..... the last white face gauges I had sucked tho.. it was on my 91 celica.. i had to get a new cluster cause half the needles were missing lol!!!
Anyone know how white or clear bulbs would look with our gauges.. I might take off the nipples if it looks nicer, just too lazy to get around to doing it hehe!

 I much prefer the stock gauges...though mine are even the stock green color right now. I used to have indiglos but decided I like the cleaner OEM look with a lot less glare a lot more. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

My cluster is amber with painted red needles. I also put on a TRD sticker with the rpm is. People think its way better than the stock.
