RED or BLUE??? - Toyota Yaris Forums

ham · 05-04-2009, 01:30 PM

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?

u need a little contrast but they both look good

i say 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

YAR1S · 05-04-2009, 01:48 PM

blue, make that whole center part match.

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.

scangauge BLUE

Blue, and I love your radio.

Pioneer

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

CTScott · 05-04-2009, 07:15 PM

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.

kurokoma-kun · 05-04-2009, 07:54 PM

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

PHXDEMON · 05-04-2009, 08:42 PM

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.

Meteorite_Marty · 05-04-2009, 08:44 PM

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?

GeneralDon7 · 01-02-2010, 01:10 AM

Id say blue.
