I just had the camera on auto, no flash it wasn't particually dark outside so the exposure time was fairly short(had it have been long it would have been a bit blury and over exposed in places) , the picture is a true representation of what it looks like, like I say I am pleased with it, it is plenty bright enough and evenly lit. green looks quite cool, but I think I'll stick with blue, I notice you have additional bulbs by the looks of it for the battery, temp and mpg gauges is that correct, I also notice that on your picture labled auto exposure it looks like some if the bulbs ae not working, when I first intalled mine it was a little trial and error as led's are polarity sensitive and will only pass current / light one way so a few needed turning round before they would work.
