I think it's time for DIY blue dash lights. If you change all the orange to blue, that little bit of green won't look bad. That Defi setup is Sick!

Yeah, its in front of my face on purpose. Aside from outputting temperatures from the water and oil, its got a warning light for the sensors and a 2 step tachometer warning (it goes off at 6200 and again at the redline. I need to be able to see the light go off.
