I finally finished my dash color swap(2007 factory green and white to red) and flush mount Scan Gauge. I value all the YARISWORLD opinions. Which is more visually appealing, red scangauge or blue?

I like the blue, but someone posted a link a while back about blue LEDS in the dark being very harsh on your eyes, soooo..

blue for looks, red for ergonomics

Sorry about the poor picture quality.

Here is a pic of dash before the color mod.

I wish I could have changed the radio to red as well.

Do you know of any good decks that come in red?

There is a pioneer premier(what you have) that comes in red.

Thanx, this deck is simple and great. Thats why I picked it over a red one. PREMIERS are my favorite.

The cluster looks way better red. The first picture with the camera perfectly aligned with the tach and speedo got me thinking that a flat, lcd-based, digital analog tach would be the perfect solution for adding a tach to the existing cluster.

I vote for blue scangauge. The red lighting looks great!

That looks awesome.I say blue scangauge until you get a red deck. What kind of tach is that? I love how you have it mounted.

Big improvement. I really like the change. I did my entire dash area in white LED. I didn't like the stock green either.

Anyhow, I would say the blue display looks best. Keeps everything in the middle blue, and all things around it read.

Again, very nice. Congrats!

It's mounted in about a 3" deep pod, bolted directly to the gauge panel with a small hole for the wires.

Hold the fort! Where on Earth did you find that tach inside the speedometer cluster? Is that a computer graphic or the real deal?

I choose red because it has a longest light wavelength and lowest frequency, which in turn means it's easier for the eyes to read
