My brother had an STi, and I loved his gauges, but they were a tad bit too bright. It was somewhat distracting when it was really dark out, because you would always see red even when you were looking out the windshield...

There should be a brightness knob to change how bright/dim you want it.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Subaru gauges end up being red with white needles, that's what the current WRX/STIs are and it looks great.

As for brightness, the older WRXs used to be very bright sometimes, but my 2008 has a great range of adjustment, I move it around a lot depending on conditions but am pretty much always happy.

As father time takes its toll first thing you notice (apart from hair loss) is vision.

I have trouble reading Red gauges at night they become blurred (only in the last 4 years). No problem with white or blue.

Thank god the subie will be red. I love red on black dials. The only thing missing is the gauge sweep :*(

Hopes there is no slack or freeplay in the steering.

the red needles with orange everything else in my tacoma works well for me. just drove for 10+ hours after working in the morning, with no issues at the end of the drive in very dark conditions.

WingsofWar · 12-26-2011, 11:26 PM

any of these color schemes look appeasing to anyone?
