My LED gauge cluster

[thornado327i]

Had "some" trouble getting the needles to light up also - finally I gave up - the camera doesn't pick them in the dark but human eyes do.

Unlit:



Lights on:

that looks like it's out of an early 90's honda crx.

+1, if was green i'd say ford escort

or mitsubishi galant

[george graves]

mitsubishi galant

A+ for effort.

[Aptyp]

Who made those? and can they be made in other colors? With out LEDs it would look better I think.

It looks sick,but as everyone said it reminds me of honda,but it looks better than most aftermarket clusters;)

looks like a crx cluster. but kinda cool

[Jand3rson]

Not a fan. Too bright in some areas, and not enough in others. And the guage faces are not my style at all, the numbers are way too big and too close together, it all looks very crowded.

I can't really say I like it. It really doesn't work, but its sick that you did this!
A+

I did this, because I like white gauge faces, but I don't like to see them all orange. So I stuffed the thing with about 26 wide-angle LEDs.

Things like colour, fonts etc all depend on the faces. I had these custom made, and they work for me.

Now someone PLEASE tell me HOW to make needles lit!! Fluorescent paint doesn't quite do the trick.

econometer is backwards.

[2e30]

[thornado327i]

econometer is backwards.

How do you mean? The engine is off...

[kronus]

so.. can you see the needles at night?

[thornado327i]

econometer is backwards.

Oooh - I get it - the numbers.
See, the econometer doesn't show MPG. It shows how many litres of gas gets used per 100 km. It's a euro thing.

so.. can you see the needles at night?

Yes. Or more I just know where they are at the moment...
Seriously - it's a question of adaptation - once you get used to it - you're good.
