2nd prototype finished - it's working perfectly. This is the final version.



Since this part will be hidden in the dash, it doesn't need to be in a pretty box - some really thick and large mill-spec heat shrink will do the trick for an enclosure for the driver board.

Excited to see what you're building here!

radar detector readout?
inside temp gauge?
Engine Oil temp?
Knight Rider Light?

Im sure this is possible. But rearranging the leds you could do a voltage indicator. Id buy one of those!!

First version of the LED board.



Second prototype



Checking fitment - looks great. Requires no mods to the cluster. It just plugs right in. Woot.

[dude8383]

A/f gauge? Voltmeter? You friggin tease!

[LJ851]

Very cool, George. I have a feeling i need to buy this, how much money do i need to send?

[Mtriple]

You have my attention.

shift light?

[SSE30]

Fingers are crossed in anticipation of a sweet F1 shift light.

[einstein57]

Indicator lights for the 3 sea shells?

[JamesE30]

Oh my god please shift light

[Farbin Kaiber]

TPMS? Does it let you know when your iPhone is charged?

[GaryE30]

I hope this is a tachometer light. I've had that idea on my mind for the last few years, just don't have the means to make it.

[george graves]

Shift lights? No.

Think....more practical.
