LED gauge lighting, Here is the prototype DIY kit Options

[marks914]

OK,
Here is the DIY kit prototype. We may change the wiring pass-through at some point, but this was the best way to keep the costs minimum. For those of you who missed it, a couple of weeks ago I posted some info on the LED lighting.

Here is the basic kit for each gauge. It is the LED strip, which can be cut down to size, with a adhesive isolator strip (2-way tape) and the wiring harness.

this is how the LEDs go in the can, just pull the tape once they are positioned and aim the LEDs away from the can sides. Shown is the speedo and tach cans, the fuel gauge strip can be cyut shorter, or left long for combo gauges.

This is how the back connection is wired to the stock harness. One spade goes to the stock light wire, the other to a ground.

The gauges do need to be dis-assembled, trim rings and all, then the lighting is like this:

Pricing? If there is enough interest, they will be $65.00 per set of 3 gauges. You can leave the old bulbs in the can to seal up the back. 911 gauge prices slightly higher, the clock is the tricky one on the 911 set.

The kit includes 3 light strips with adhesive isolator, 3 harnesses with pass-through spade connectors and instructions. We have warm white, cool white, red, green and blue.

OR, now that you know how to do it, just give it a try.

Or we can install them here in our shop.

Let me know what you think. We will probably order the light strips as needed, so delivery time will be a few days.
