First off I love the kit!!!! Great product!

Was tuning my car SAT night after a while of it being parked and boost turned down and had to turn on the dome light to see the knob setting. Its between the radio pod and dash surround

Wondering if you (Julio) could make a update backlit/illuminated face plate mod for this?

Just a thought so you could see the gain setting better at night.
 
Guess if the front panel was infrared like a SMII, and the numbers where overlayed.. a lamp placed inside the box could illuminate it. The only issue is I dont think that will illuminate the numbers.

An easier thing would be simply place a Blue LED hooked to the ON switch and illuminate when the system has power. Some may find the illumination distracting.

My first PAC the "ON" Led had a 1k resistor to limit its current. At night it was too bright and a distraction. Current controllers have 4.7k to dim it whereby its not annoying at night.

Techincally once the car is tuned you shouldnt have to play with settings. And the test button typically is easy access.

Dunno.. i'll give it some thought.

Thanks for the idea.
 
Julio,

How about a faceplace decal with reflective or glow in the dark numbers?
