LED lit gauges, North Hollywood vs bulbs Options

[Grngoat]

Does anyone have any experience with the LED lighting that North Hollywood Speedometer does? Especially, how does it compare to just buying the LED bulbs that are avaliable as replacements?

The price that they charge to convert the gauges is quite a bit more than just buying the bulbs. I'm just wondering if they do that much better of a job or not.

Anyone?

I love the LEDs. I bought the blu for my car and modified all of my needles to white so that they would show up (blue and orange are not very complementary). My gauges were also white on the inside (many of the older ones came that way.

Then again, I do do gauge service form time to time. I am sure some of my patrons will chime in withtheir views on this.

$250 is fair for all gauges because parting them is a bitch and there are parts involved. If I were to do this again, say in the summer, I would charge about $60/gauge + parts. Only a bit cheaper, but we will see.

The gauge pictured has my extra light bung added where the annoying dark spot is at the apex of the tach. What do ya'll thinK?
