+100. Completely agree that our gauges are some of the more beautiful ones to look at on the market. Tried looking at BMW's gauges lately? FUUUGGGLY.

I personally love our cluster, it is one of my very favorite thing about the interior as well. But...

I see that this changes the color of the center information display to blue. If I could change just that and not the gauges themselves, I'd do it. I hate the red-orange color it is now because it clashes with the indigo/blue/purple (whatever you want to call it) and white theme throughout the interior lighting. For $25 plus shipping I'm tempted to buy it and try to tinker with it to only change the information display but I'm not that talented with that sort of thing. From the description, it seems like you are only changing the white and orange LEDs to blue ones. Is anyone else up to the challenge?

Don't like it at all. I think Infiniti did a great job on our gauge.

I'll pass. I love the clean white light that they ripped from Acura.

I know it's doubtful because they seldom have issues and everyone loves it, but has anyone taken the cluster apart yet?

EDIT:

This is exactly what I'm talking about:


I think I'll buy this one just to turn my info display from orange to blue. It's only $29. But then again, it's probably just LEDs that I can buy for under $10.

Reading questions asked about the item, it is just LED's that you solder into the cluster. I'll just do my own or buy the right LED's and take it to an electronics shop and have the solder them in.

Great idea! Let us know how it goes. I think it would be great to just change the center led to purple and leave the rest alone.
