Dash Light Mod Success

yeah it kinda turned alittle purple since its blue mixed with red. I might try throwing the orange in there instead to see if it looks any better.

 

a little too much going on there for me personally, but get us some better night shots!

 

Still hoping someone local to me with some soldering skills will help me do mine.......

 

ok so big time failure. It looks absolutely horrible at night. So its getting changed right. No more trying to be fancy.

 

Neat, but a little rainbowy

 

ok fixed the gay looking colors...

 

Looks sick!
Just scanning, how did you do the needles?

 

what, not even a night shot so we could laugh at you a little!!

 

Okay, those are the best looking needles yet.

So is that a white painted needle with a blue LED? Or is that a blue painted needle with a white LED?

 

camera settings have an affect as well...

still waiting for the night shots of the gay cluster!!

 

i didnt even take pictures i was so ashamed. The blue needles have no paint on them. Just take some 1000 grit paper to the back of it and take the orange off and it makes it clear. And thats how it looks.

 

So that is all blue LED then. Thanks.

I think I'll paint the back of the needle white to make it easier to see during the day time and use a blue LED for night illumination.

 

yeah all blue LEDs no paint no nothing.

 

well, at least your honest and a good lesson was learned here!!

 

Oh yeah. No more trying to be fancy.

 

this would be sweet to do just looks like to mch trouble

 

^ not at all!! if you know how to solder, it is a fun project! if you dont, check my sig!

it is by far my favorite mod..get to look at it everyday!

 

Yeah it's a lot of fun to do. Makes things not so boring either. That orange gets old.

 

Orange is one of the worst colors for illumination. Something about it just makes my eyes hurt.

If this wasn't an option, I would probably turn the dimmer down to the point that the illumination was virtually off completely.

After seeing enough pictures, I'm thinking a white background with blue needle for sure. Might consider doing the opposite with blue background and a white needle.

 

Yosh always advertising!! LOL I fully agree, I LOVE my dash, and so do my eyes.

The only problem I have with a blue dash is I didnt change my highbeam indicator so sometimes I forget to shut them off cause it blends in.
