Just a feeler...Tailights, gauges
I've been thinking about maybe coming up with some packages for a group buy for led tailights and/or instrument cluster gauges (if the new leds I ordered work).
I spoke to Astro about becoming a vendor for a bit to facilitate this. I'm still in the thinking stages for now, especially the gauges as its a little complicated to make a package, but I think I can do it.
I wont list prices as I'm not done discussing this with Astro, this is just a feeler for now if there is enough interest or not. If there isn't, I wont put anymore effort into it.
Since these mods are hand made, I will only be able to make a few packages at a time.

Ummm I thought I posted enough pictures of both mods? Anyways I guess I need to post again.
For the led tailights...remember this is something you mod with your original tails...with the amber or not it really doesnt matter. It will co-exist with your harness. The hardest part would be to separate your lens from the frame of the tailight. Also you would have to purchase an electronic flasher relay as well (about 20 bucks).
For the gauges, the hardest part will be to remove the blue filter off the gauges...TL-S gauges will be most difficult, but can be done with care.
I thought about doing these packages up as I know some are weary about soldering and such.

For now, I'm just seeing if there is enough interest. Details will be worked out eventually.
Also I need to create a prototype so the leds for the needles will be easier to install instead of my own custom installs. So I guess you can say this could be up to version 3.2

well have you thought about two types of packages one thats just the leds and one that includes some filters, or maybe filters of the persons choice.....i want a set of gauges.....but i would want to have a setup like yours with multiple colors but i would like to have more blue than just the sticks you did.....

I recieved my package of LEDs today. I played around with them a little today....the good news is that they will most likely work for the gauge cluster. So I have to make a prototype and revisit with Astro about selling them.
I think I will try to make a batch of 20. Maybe more if there is more interests.
Now as for the tails.....that will come after the gauge cluster. One thing at a time.
