Mad! My mate had some in his rover 214 (enough said!) and they gave him an electric shock when he went to change the backlight colour! :S

If you like them, it's your car do what you want. If we all had the same idea this forum would be boring...

If you do buy some don't go for lockwood, I've never seen a set that illuminate a night, on previous (non BMW) cars I've had 'Auto Tint Designs' dials, you have to remove the original black dials but at least they are backlit with two different colours like stock lights.

Go for the plasma dials instead.I've had the white ones and they are a nightmare to see at night.

Mine went CREAM after a few months, and they were from Auto tint design, absolute waste of money imo.
Origional are the best.Change the internal surround, that makes a lot of difference. :cool:

they look cool but it depends if you want to keep your car original. Its a pity they weren't a factory option.
