And I love 'em. Excellent product you got there Qarl! They all work perfectly and are eons ahead of the old bulbs that were in there.
Slight problem though. This has brought forth the need for me to re-do the reflective coating in my gauges. I'm talking about how there's a reflective paint or coating or whatnot on the insides of my gauges... just gotta re-do it now. How, though? I've got a spare speedo that i can learn on dissecting, but how do I go about it? How to not break the plastice on the guages themselves? Has anyone done this before? I'd be utterly grateful if someone can help shine some light on this situation. (I know, cheap pun) Thanks (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

I've got a ton (okay, 50) UV (360nm) LED's from another project that I'm going to experiment with for lighting my gauges. I think (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) (think being the operative word here) that with the white numbers, and florescent orange needles, they should be pretty readable.....plus my white-ass second shifter hide could use a little color....mobile tanning bed.
