roflmao!!!!! good one pal just dont let anyone see you talking to it!

Thought Id update this thread with my own effort. Need to properly fit the bezel round the dials which is the cause of the hotspot round the edges as it was push placed infront to take the picture. Need to adjust the dials as at the minute hit the red on the temp gauge pretty quickly!

Plan to do the rest of the buttons to match.

Different mate, I like it. My temp is still out, have sorted the speed and revs ones now and are more accurate than when I hadn't touched them!

Only one I'm keen to get right is the fuel gauge. As thats the only one I really look at. Now to have a good at all the buttons. :construction:

Thought I'd further update this as I did a bit more work today....

Was looking like this:

My issues were that firstly the 130 and 150 were bleeding a little white light (small niggle) but also, they were overall quite dull even with two types of LED bulbs used. Plus, the top of the dials were just too dull!

So I fixed the 130/150 issue and got some extra LED smd panels and rewired things myself. The result is a lot brighter and a more even spread light. The photos, again, don't give the real life effect as its overly glared up and the red looks orange, it is bold red.

All I need to do now is apply a bit more frosted vinyl to the back to diffuse the light a little more as one of the LED panels sits a little closer to the dials and so can be seen.

This is the view from the drivers seat:

I'm much happier now and with a little more tweaking, will be perfect!

Took a couple more...light changes due to crappy phone camera so colours vary too lol!

They look better in your second set of pics

Yeah Pete, I focussed on the PC so it wasn't overexposed and in turn it helped the dials look clearer and more like I see them in-car.

When I did mine Blue it took some trial and error to get the look I was after, but they still look cack in photo's

Pretty much lol, it was the photos that showed me there was a panel hotspot lol, never noticed it in car.
