Northwoods Snowman Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 It really doesn't matter. I chose to do it a little differently than you did, and I'm giving my feed back on the way I did it. I don't know why you're getting all over my case about it. You did it one way I did it another which happened to be the cheaper route. I'm not the only one on a tight budget so I think it would be beneficial for people to know how a different set up turned out. Mine works, is it optimally what I want, no. Can I get it where I want it? I don't know, but mine is good enough I'm going to leave it alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one bad bg Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 wait both those pics are blank??? i can see them, can anyone else see them or are they blank for everyone??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daleyswanson Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 sucks you had the same problem as me. i was hoping i made the mistakes for everyone else. haha. i emailed the dude and he said to get the high powered ones for the outside (154 i think... its been a few months) to match the inside bulbs, but i got tired of pulling the dash apart and figured i had more important things to spend 40 bucks on. once i getthe high powered ones for the gauge then i'll put up a shot of it all together. no saying what that is but oh well.

Northwoods Snowman Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Another thing I should mention for people looking to change color in their push switches. The LEDs I got were just a hair too big for the holes. There are two options to fix this: File down the diameter of the base; or just shove the LED in the hole, but if you go this route you have to disassemble the switch to be able to push the LED back out to change the LED or switch the polarity. I just shoved the thing in since the switch is easy to get apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northwoods Snowman Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 wait both those pics are blank??? i can see them, can anyone else see them or are they blank for everyone??? I try viewing the page in IE and FireFox and don't get any pictures with either program so I doubt it's just me. Anyone else want to pipe up? You could try reposting them...I would like to see them.

Northwoods Snowman Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Well sometimes things happen with web hosting and what not, and I can see the rest of the pictures, just not yours. If it's me I have no idea what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one bad bg Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 not gonna lie. i dont like it. i think it looks better with the actual gauges lighting themselfves up. ^that looks kinda ricerish. but if you like, go for it. why not just put red bulbs in place of your stock ones???

babybaluga32 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I have red bulbs but they are uneven and not a very deep red .. So i found this. it is riceish i guess but i really like it none the less! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babybaluga32 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Are you insinuating higher powered once make for more consistent lighting? Or still just as uneven but brighter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heresmymind Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 you need to get 360 degree smd led's for a perfectly even light. OR use stage gel on the back of the gauges -B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
