IMO, this is the little stuff that really separates a sorted out car. How well does it function from A-Z in different circumstances.

While your at it, if you plan to run an LED high beam, figure out how to reduce its voltage as well.
Yeah, Vegas69 has a good point about the high beam indicator. I was using these 1/4 inch ones on my old autometer setup- http://www.detroitspeed.com/mm5/merc...t_Code=120902A If you are using a small LED, I would not use blue without reducing the intensity. The blue is so much brighter than the green, red and amber ones. That thing will wash out any night vision that you have. I also wouldn't put it front and center in your field of view, on my old setup I put it down and off to the side.
