I have my third BMW now and I always found that this orange looks a bit old school. In my e34 that was perfect, but for my e91 LCI it does not really match, because the rest of the car looks very modern, especially with the styling I did. You explained and showed the process very well!

Looks great, but there’s a reason why BMW chose the orange color. In the dark this color is the least tiring color in the spectrum for the eyes. Therefore saver. ;) If you think of it: in astrophotography they use red light (close to orange) because they want their eyes to stay used to the dark. Red has the least impact on the eyes should they need light for whatever reason. During the old school negative film developing (in a dark room), they use red light as well, to prevent the negative te be destroyed 👍

You aren't looking at your speedometer long enough for drastic effects, plus its dimmed. Also BMW of the same era has white lights too (M cars ex.E92/E90, E60). White/blue light helps people stay awake/alert at night which is a plus. 'White' light suppresses the body's production of melatonin. Exposure to the light of white LED bulbs, it turns out, suppresses melatonin 5 times more than exposure to the light of High Pressure Sodium bulbs that give off an orange-yellow light.‘ Additionally "Research has found that exposure to blue light suppresses the production of the sleep hormone melatonin more than any other type of light."

@animationcrate 3 жыл бұрын

As the top comment says, red/orange and other warm colors like amber are used because they're easy on the eyes. That's why blue light filters on phones and TV's make the screen look orangish or yellowish. They'll strain your eyes the least compared to brighter and more blue (light spectrum) lights. That being said, I hate the orange and want the lights to match my theme which is the same blue as the BMW logo lmao. So you already know I'm swapping out all the lights in favor of a baby blue theme

So for the center LEDs that illuminate the information screen, the part that looks blue and white on yours in the video. Did you swap all 18 of those LEDs to white? It looks like there are 12 total LEDs for the Gauges, 6 on either side and then 18 for the info screen excluding the six you mentioned. I want the screen to be red on mine. I'm assuming you did all white, hence the slight blue hue to it?
