So yesterday I stripped down my dials and got rid of the pale orange!
I have fitted 5 smd LEDs for extra brightness, however I am going to short the front facing ones to prevent it being so bright! It will also get rid of the white shining through the numbers.
I tested them with my iPhone flash while I was making them and for some reason, if the light is too close to the numbers (red) the colour fades to the white. This is obviously the issue with the LED's so hopefully losing the front facing ones will give a better light spread.
Here they are just now, also need to readjust the needles. The red is properly red, photo's always seem to make red lights turn dark orange. The comparison would be with the red area of the rev counter as that is bright red for real but orange in the photo!
In person, I am really happy with the outcome, makes it look far more modern imho without looking 'pimped'. Once I have made the adjustments, I will secure it all properly
Opinions?
