So fi you wanted the sides to match, would you recomend just putting in a dark filter or something in front of it to lessen the brightness? Does the different brightness bother you"?

I might have to do this in green soon..hmm

I'm sure there is something you can do to balance things out, it doesn't bother me the way one side is brighter. Also if you go to a color like red or green I am sure it wouldn't be as distracting.

any chance of a zoom out pic... so you can see the entire gauge cluster plus both sides just to see what the new bulbs look in comparison and to really see the difference in brightness between the 2 sides...

When it gets dark out tonight I will try to do that, its really hard to take a photo with a camera in the dark with the right exposure to show what it really looks like in person though. I will try my best

so after many many photographs and trying to make it look as much as it does to my eyes and with some really quick photoshop work to put the 2 sides together here is what I came up.

This is about what it looks like at mid dim, ignore the gauge clusters brightness.
