    I made a change that I've been happy with. I changed the back lighting of my instrument cluster from Toyota orange (top) to soft white. Much easier on the eyes. The brave can do this themselves by soldering the different colored LED's into the panel. I tried that but discovered that my hands are not steady enough for such delicate soldering. I destroyed my panel by burning the panel. I then ordered a new panel with the color I like from Tanin Auto Electronix. They are not cheap but I love the change.m_merged.png

    Love this! Seriously, browsing the forums is dangerous because of all the great ideas that I then want to do to my truck! Looks great! Nice job!
