Are the led strips mounted inside the gauges behind the face plates or in front of the face plates between the glass??? They look great! I put LED bulbs in the standard bulb holders in the backs and its not much of a improvement over the standard bulbs...
NICE WORK! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) Thanks celluloid3 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) , Exactly!! After I installed the BA7 Led bulb in my gauges (as you did) I was bummed. I decided to do something different and these are the results. There is a lot of work that goes into each gauge. They have to be completely disassembled, drilled for wiring,polished or repainted in each housing. The LED strips have to have lead and ground wires soldered to each strip and then the strips are attached to the inner circumference at a specific distance behind the face plate and re-assembled. I beleive the light emitted from these gauges are outstnding. I have a later set for sale in the Parts For Sale Forum. Thanks again Al |
