2003 Gsxr1000

White leds in the guages, to replace the factory orange funk, and I put on a new oem guage cover.
The original cover had a big scratch on the tach and multiple stains on the lenses, as well as the black plastic was faded.
I had Scott's Blue Guages put in the white leds, as that guage cluster require a soldering gun with suction to remove the ribbon cable(a pain in the azz that I would rather pay for than sit down and do).
He did my Gen2 guages in blue years ago too, and did a great job on those also.
He was also going to add a dimmer switch or knob if possible, but said that after looking at them, it would've required 4 switches being added to the circuit board, so he did not, oh well.
My eyes do not like looking at orange, red, or green backlit guages at night.
Blue looks good to me, but it takes just a moment for my eyes to focus on.
The white leds are perfect, I can see them clearly, and my eyes focus on them immediately.
That and the new cover make the guages look brand new, and much improved.
Well worth doing.

That’s one of my favorite things about the gen3, the nice and crisp white gauges. Scott did my gen2 as well.
