Just a comment regarding the LED strips. Palo Alto Speedometer suggested I use LED bulbs because the LED strips emit different lighting for each gauge because each housing is different. YMMV

QUOTE(JamesJ @ Aug 19 2022, 01:00 PM)  Just a comment regarding the LED strips.

YMMV Could be but prepared to live with that,I had the led lamps but wasn't 100% impressed but certainly an improvement over stock lamps. The lamps were a patchy light , the strips are a fully lit housing and no shadowing ,had the same effect with my tacho ,I really liked the end result and little effort as I had both gauges apart anyway. |
