at least you recognize it, but otherwise very

the whole bottle would of been gone with me
also are you trying to be part of high society with that tray and stuff there
also what is that in your coffe cup egg nog or something (does not look like coffee to me)

MrFluffy

Its all my wifes doing ( she actually got pissed that I didnt move the table cloth and all the other stuff but I have a bit of a one track mind)

The coffee is the one cup coffee maker coffee its really good

and the wife is the cause of all your problems (hitting god damn curbs and taking out the alignment:angryfire)

and having the booze right there makes it more convinent for those tuff moments,
and the tablecloth makes it easier for you to clean up; pick it up, go outside (or over an trash if you must), shake, go back inside, toss the table cloth back over, ALL DONE

so is it the instant , i don't drink

The top of the speedo needs some work, its got a hotspot.

Otherwise, very nice.

hot spots can be more noticeable in photos due to the low camera shutter speed. however to the naked eye one can't see them. i do think the tach needs some adjusting. nice job!

MrFluffy

This is true I spent the last couple of hours fixing it all and then took these pics was like what the hell

I fixed It all up that tach 0 was a bitch

So I also finished stage 2 I did blue as you know and to add a little something extra I did Purple except purple was not as bright as blue but still brighter than stock. now I can flip a switch and my dash and other ambient lighting goes from Blue to purple I also have red but not in the dash

So here they are

Blue

And purple


Hope you like it

SWEET.... with the color changing

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

also something like this will let you get even more colors in there (just alot more wiring though)

http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...iColor_LED.htm

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

and with those you can get any color you want then, just by making each color dimmable by itself

MrFluffy

Definitly alot of wiring but alot of complex sodering as well but thanks for the link I might swap mine out for those next spring

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

alot of wiring, kinda just need one more power supply wire (since you already proably got two [just need 3] power wires for multi color) with a common ground,
complex soldering, all soldering is basically the same but yeah quite a bit more and repetitive

but yeah the biggest thing is the wiring inside the gauge cluster with not allowing the wires to short against each other being kinda confined in there, but be easier to mount the actual LEDs, cause you only got to mount one type of LED

also np for the link

MrFluffy

It would defintly be easier than the way I did mine but the way they are aimed and how the led leads bend over aech other would be a headache to aim but easier than my way

distortedolskool

iTrader: (1)

any pics of the LED setup behind the gauges?

MrFluffy

I have one pic but its just the one set of leds but I drove it today and I hate the purple its about 1/5 the intensity of the blue so I may be swithing to red sooner than later

And as soon as I got everything place right I didnt want to mess with it I just wanted to seal it up and be done with it

Alhought I saw PHEES and I didnt not use resistors I ran them in series of four ( as per the specs on my leds)

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

mod took too long and were too impatient lmao (i am the same way sometimes)
in series will work perfectly fine , but those leds i sent you the link to will more then likely have to be wired in parallel, but you should just have to use one big resister at the power supply side to drop down to the necessary voltage (but be best to look for ones with a higher voltage rating for the most efficient power comsumption)

MrFluffy

How much are those anyways

MrFluffy

I just found the price on those 1.59 an led thats expensive im going to look on ebay

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

IDK, i just YAHOOed "tri color LEDs", anyways they might even be too big, it was like the first link i clicked on and figured it had some good pictures on it

MrFluffy

I found some I may buy these next week http://cgi.ebay.com/100-5mm-tri-colo...item1c09f4dbe7

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

i might have to be a then

btw: shipping seems outrageous, but otherwise a good deal
and you gotta like how they are from china

MrFluffy

They were Invented in china! I only ordered leds from the US once and half of them didnt work ! $28 for 10 leds its double what I payed for 100 leds but they are 3 in 1 so its a pretty good deal !

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

yeah those actualy don't seem that expensive at $0.28 each which breaks to like 9 cents per color
