well i understand the distracting part. but on the dash there is a dimmer, but to me it isnt as bright as ive seen some cars.

LED's all over the place could be very distracting and eye-tiring while driving at night, for me at least.

Yeah i agree that the white might be more distracting than red. I personally like the red, because it kinda brings the whole dash together, with everything being red (i even got an aftermarket HU based on whether or not it matched the red in the car lol). I will admit though, the one thing i don't like about the red gauges is that the redline on the tach almost disappears at night. It doesn't really matter too much because I've never actually redlined the tach, but still...

that is so bright. onepoint8tee is right, that would wear my eyes out. although that does look really good.
