These do look fine in the dark in terms of blending is with the car's stock gauges, but not when it's light (white vs amber). The red arrow is a definite plus. Also, I do believe that defi's has a blushed aluminum bezel, so they would match the Z's interior even better.
I guess if these are not as expensive it would be a great option.

Cheaper then the BF series and they don't require a control unit (which you have to dish out another $100 for). Yes, BF's are great...but many ppl (such as myself) do not need all the bells and whistles in comes with.....
Basically, this is a great option for those who have been searching for the Defi D Series.... I know the replacement for the D Series should be out in September, but Defi is screwing us again...they will only be available with a blue LED backing.
