Writeup: JamesSpec Gauge Cluster

Very nice job, would like to see daytime pictures as well. This would probably work even better on an S5 cluster, since the S5 already has circular gauge cut outs vs. the 1/4 circle style used in the S4s, so there won't be any shape mismatchs between the stock fuel gauge and the oil/temp/boost gauges.

Not to nit pick, but the illumination brightness levels between the stock & Prosport gauges is different. Might just be an artifact of how it's all wired and where your dimmer settings were at you took the picture - maybe the stock gauges were on minimum brightness, and the Prosports were at full illumination? Can the Prosports be wired in such a way that you can use the stock dimmer to adjust brightness along with the stock gauges?
