The white backgrounds look nice, bit too expensive for me to justify though.
Do they light up nicely at night with the lights on?

nice.
my old Mazda seen 00000 4 times in its life plus another 75000km before i stupidly sent it to the wreckers.
just to see who is paying attention as well, if it seen 00000 4 times in its life and another 75000km on top, how far did it travel before it got crushed?

My Capri clocked over about 2 years ago.....I was spewing as I was driving back home without a camera and it clocked over 1 mile from home. I've got a pic somewhere with 1 miserly mile on the clock.....Done another 4,000 since then.

Unfortunately they don't light up too well. I like the look of them though.

Fortunately it clocked over just as I pulled into a carpark!! Only had the phone camera so not the greatest quality....

At the moment it won't get any additional k's on it as I am having clutch problems as you may have read in the other thread :( Should be sorted out by Wednesday though..... I hope....

Haha mine did that shortly after I bought it...then the motor blew up (I'm guessing that was either it's 2nd or 3rd time all the way round the clock).

I have those white RS dials too, but mine light up pretty well, compared to the stock black ones anyway.

They're not that bad I suppose. Can't remember what the black one look like at night!!

I really don't want to hear that your car blew up just after, you'll jinx me!!

I've still got the black dials in mine, and you can't see jack at night....Not that the speedo works anyway.

I took the blue plastic bit out that colours the display on the odometer side and it lights up much better.

If I ever obtain a second odometer I'll probably look at making an led array to light it up.
