My Gauge Project

Not spilling details since I just came up with it today. Here's a sneek peek of what's going to happen. I am sure some of you will figure it out but I won't spill the beans till finished.

That was a trial pic. Yes it's going to be leds. The positioning is key cause if you put to close you get the strong part of led in middle and the fade around the outside. Once I pinpoint where they need to go I will take pics and do a writeup.

No all will light up like that. I only have one led that I used to test where to mount it so you would see the variance in led. All will be done as soon as I get them.

I totally forgot about this one. The positioning of the leds is the hardest part along with finding somthing to hold the leds without making it look like crap. This weekend I am clearing headlights and if I have time I will look into this again.
