Re: overall pictures of the LED project....
great job...
As for the redline not showing up, i have an "idea" on why. Its a blue light shining through a redfilm and therefore the red film is virtually blocking the light, right? So other than making it blue too, i dont see how you could fix it
Also, I noticed ur sterio is off...Im guessing its still orange, any ideas or possible ways to change that too? If not, could u take some pics with it on so I can see how it looks...a couple of us down here might attempt this massive overall.
Nice job and keep us updated on how the plastic cover comes along.

I'm also going to do something for the upper display. I bought some plexiglass from home depot, and I still have alot of tint left. I'm going to take the orange lens out and somehow affix the plexiglass covered with blue tint to the back of the bezel. Thats my plan for right now, but you know as well as I do that things usually come out different. The only real problem I see right now is the COMP button hole. I'll get some work done today and start writing up some stuff next week. I'll probably be doing this mod for people around SAC if they want it. Maybe sell a blue lens for the upper display and just sand/tint their gauges and they can put them in.
Also I got some pics last night but my cousins still sleeping and I need to get started.

Also I have to tell you. The blue tint is just great looking, the light spreads VERY well. I really like the contrast between the needles. I have an extra gauge pod from an auto and I was thinking about messing around with the mileage display. Anyways, back to work!!!

Update, got the two layers of blue done on the gauges. Its really light blue. Since I finished it after dark I decided to just sit the pod on my dash until tomorrow so I can see it with sunlight.
I'm pretty sure I'll add one more layer. I will take pics before I change anything though, so people can compare blues and see what they want. I did 4 layers, now 2, maybe 3. We'll see.
Will post pics soon.
