Had my gauges Updated with LED, OMG They are A W E S O M E !!!!!! Options

[jsayre914]

I purchased an old set of gauges from a member and had plans to do the LED upgrade. Found out that Mark (Newvintageusa) was unable to do the work, they are swamped with other stuff. I talked to Al Garcia, (awesome Guy) and he is fighting cancer on a day by day basis, and he was not able to do the job in any quick timeframe. (prayers for ya Al) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I jumped onto the world wide web and found a company that does LED kits on Ebay. They have never actually done any work on these types of gauges before, but I figured Hey, i have another set if they mess them up. What the Heck, Why Not.



A week later (today actually) the guy calls and said the gauges are done. He took everything apart cleaned them and painted the needles with a ultraviolet paint. The needles actually glow (how cool is that) and the L E D strips are unbelieveable. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

I think it would be sweet if someone put in some kind of sensor on the end of the needle so that as the tach swept past the digits, the LED's would light up in succession around the gauge! It would be awesome at night.
