Blue guages with 3 leds just finished today oops pic on next post

 

 

A fine job indeed, props

 

that looks tight!

 

I think it would look better if the actual light behind the white face was blue rather than having the blue LED light up the red behind the white face.

 

Mmmm.... Reverse indiglo gauges....

 

Itried useing the leds in place of the bulbs the leds didnt illuminate the numbers very well so I tried a mock up of this and liked it so I made the above settup it was a pain in the *** to get the leds aimed and mounted properly.( tip if you rough up the tip of the led with sandpaper or a rough scotchbrite pad it more evenly dispurses the light ) I would change how I mounted the center led if I did it again. heres a pic that I enhanced it is a little closer to how it actualy looks (a little)

 

keep forgeting the pic oops its the same pic oh well the blue is not as over powering in person and the red jumps out at you, looks better in person. I may put a stronger resister to dim it down a bit

 

Is the stock red light behind the white face toned down to the fullest in that pic?

 

sweet

 

no actualy if the factory clusterbulbs were off it would look like black #s and letters. the leds are wired to the cluster illumination circut so they dim with the factory dimmer switch

 

naw guys, i saw his gauges in person it looks realllll sweeet. here's another shot, i think this might be better ...man brandon, you GOTTA do mine in purple!!!!

 

Are those bulbs really hard to get to? CAuse if they're not, I might try something. Are the bulbs red or is there a red plastic sheet behind the cluster?

 

looking good

 

try looking at www.importintelligence.com its not the same thing.. but they have some other options such as any color guages and different colored needles. hope you enjoy.
