Metal Maxima Method For Window Switches

BEFORE I START ID LIKE TO THANK METAL MAXIMA FOR INSPIRING ME TO DO THIS WITH HIS METHOD!!!

so i decided to redo my window switches cuz i fu<ked it up the first time around and ended up with only 2 blue lit out of the 5 on the main driver side switch..... and since ive painted my interior peices white i figured lemme go ahead and do the leds white as well.... and now for you viewing pleasure



and since i redid the window switches i said " i might as well do my whole radio and ac controls!!" and here ya go....



i ended up using some where around 50 5mm 10,000mcd leds i think

sorry for the blurry pics ill get better pics up later

and for those how dont know about metal maxima's method here is a link to his write up......

Not to be a jerk, but double check the **** that sets the intensity of the gauges.

Back on topic, the main console there looks very nice, would be cool if the ignition ring could be white, but last I looked, it was limited in colors.

Buyers beware, local pick up recommended. Slow to ship out items already paid for.

Anybody know where I can get a set of these gauges for the 5.5gen 6 speed? I have searched and googled but nothing comes up for the cluster with the two screens.
