LED gauges in our Camry
There are some very minor hotspots the camera noticed that aren't visible when you're driving the car. After years of dim green lighting this is a welcomed change. We used reflective mylar (which isn't conductive) around the gauges to help direct the light towards the face. There were 5 194 5-LED bulbs used.
The car is a 1998 loaded (leather, sunroof, rims, premium sound) LE with about 134,000 miles. With rising gas costs, the 02 TL-P stablemate has not been driven much. The odometer and gas gauge reading shown in the above picture is real. Each tank yields a minimum of 550 miles in this car, no matter where or how you drive.
More pics of both cars coming, not that anyone even cares to see a TL and Camry.
