I think this is the 4th version I have tried and it’s getting much better, I’m almost happy with it. This time I used some 10mm and High Flux LEDs and it came out pretty good, im just having some dimming issues that i have to look into.

Enjoy.




Here is the shift light i put in using a Summit RPM switch:

 

Wow. Those look amazing. I love the color. Good job.

 

Goodjob! The night time lights are really nice.

 

They're looking good.

 

those gauges look awesome

 

details details!!!!!

 

why is it your car is so hot. Brakes/head lights not this?
nice job man

 

i need to know how you did the needles. i got the blue background and everytime i try to do the needles the general area around them becomes purple. annoying as shhh....it

 

i found 1.8mm leds that i stuck under the needles

i also used 5mm that i glued to the optics


I then used electrical tape to cover the optics for the needle so that i dont get the purple color.

 

wow, seriously..

 

thats sick good job

 

How did you get the red in just the redline without it spilling over?

 

i cut a piece of aluminum and wedge it around the LED’s to create the cut off

 

dude yu need to start a biz with electronics or sometin

 

he used black tape, read way down on the bottom of post #9....

 

Nice work man

Damn I wish I wasn't so scared to solder....I don't know why, I have all the tools right hear, its just I have no idea how to use it...

 

no really those are beautiful

 

looks nice GEO.. good work..

 

Not a big fan of the red But WOW Nice Job! Wish I would have done that instead of all bule.

 

Exceptional work and I don’t use that word much! Cudo’s to ya…….do tell the whole process please…

 

Whoa...that looks nice

 

wow!
whered you get the 10mm and 1.8mm LED's?

 

looks great i love the redline portion of the gauges

i used the same method for my needles your lucky tho with the digital odometer much more room behind the speedo mine was a ***** working around that thing

 

those are by far the sickest, most orignal gauges I have ever seen great freaking job like my jaw is still on the ground hell of a job. we need a write up dude!!!!!

 

When I saw the title of the thread I chuckled because it sounds like my car. Your shift light is a lot more out of the way than mine, and it looks nicer that way. At least mine is brighter
I also like your gauge faces more than mine. Mine are much bluer, while it appears that yours are more white. What brand is that?
For reference, here's my interior:

For some reason my camera can't get a good pic of the gauges at night, so this is what comes out....but it's obviously a lot brighter and clearer in real life.

 

excellent job! you put VW's blue lighting to shame

 

those are def. hott awesome job

 

So nice, I am going to repeat what everyone else said, but a write up would be great.

 

so u want to fix me up a gauge cluster???i'll pay...lol, that looks nice

 

that's sick. forget a write up by the way. Even if you told me how to do it i would't be able to do that good a job. Although if you decide to open a guage customization business, you've got a customer

 

wow... I mean WOW those are the best lookin guages I have ever seen amazing work keep it up I think I am going to have to try to do these I only hope that my guages will look half as good

 

wow your leds just get better and better, lol mine are dim and have hot spots

 

*Checks Pants*

 

very nice work man. that is impressive. i especially like the depth of the red color, it's not too dark and not to bright. very nice choice and work.

 

that looks sweet. a writeup with a parts list would be nice.

 

Like everyone else has said, those are amazing. Looks very, very professional.

 

Geo blazes the way again!

The shift light looks like it was meant to be there; where did you put it in the cluster (is there an open spot there?) and how did you make it?

Are the main LEDs blue or white? How did you get the hash marks for the 2 MPH increments to be a nice blue while making the hash marks for the 10 MPH increments white? That's a very nice touch. Or is that just the way the light comes through the smaller slits?

 

excellent work! the org continues to amaze me

 

The master innovator.

With genius comes responsibility... WRITE UP!!! (Please )

That's stunningly beautiful and pretty much exactly what I want to do with mine eventually. Nice job.

 

i jsut want to knwo hwo you did that shiftlight with the word shift on it...thatis some sick **** man.
