I don't remember if that picture is w/ the LEDs or the red bulb covers. I did LEDs 1st, and they looks great at night, but at twilight or when there was other light in the car (street lights, etc) the gauges looked spotty. So instead of adding another 40 LEDs to even out the light, I went to the bulb covers... not quite as bright, but much more even.

Looking at the pictures I'm pretty sure that's w/ the LEDs... note that the 20 is a little dimmer than the 100 in the speedo... or that the 3/4 area of the tach is dimmer than the 6... it became pretty noticeable when there's more ambient light.
