Dial colour change!

[Smokey]

Finally got round to finishing my dials and getting the brightness dimmed down as it was quite distracting. Annoyingly, I still can get a picture that replicates the naked eye as there is pretty much no hot spot or faded area to the naked eye. It's also much dimmer and more like stock.

AFTER:



And here a few shots of how I did it. Looks messy but gets the result. Even made my own light table with a glass chopping board, polystyrene and my phone torch!

That looks awesome. I know earlier I said I wasn't sure about doing that but after seeing it done and finished I think I may have to have a go at it when I can get the gear together..

Dead cheap to do and nice and modern looking.I had spare set if anything went wrong anyways but they are now set aside for Grimmy!

Does bring the dash much more up to date. I think I'll start looking for a 2nd set of dials for as you say if anything goes wrong & then probably give it a try myself.

[Smokey]

Yeah, totally worth it mate.
