Hey as some of you know a few of us on the boards have been altering our interior lights. after trial and error I am pretty much done and satisfied with the speedometer cluster. before the white i was using was too cold and the needles were too dim. this has been fixed. now all thats left is the a/c display and the bose display. enjoy!

 

wow! Write up please!

 

good job alan!

 

Nice Job. Looks Good. How long did it take you?

 

Good work. I prefer the amber at night since it's easier on your eyes but it's personal preference.

 

Nice work, but I'm not sure about the 3 diff colors.

 

ya...writeup please... I like the Honda and Acura gauges more than ours...although the Orange is from Nissan's heritage, I'm ready for something new...

 

Wow, what a difference! Awesome job. That must be a lot of work.

 

+1. The white / red looks sick. Great job!

 

Thanks for the comments guys. As for a writeup, it’s a very long process, but I can give you a quick one so you know roughly whats involved

Take apart interior of car and free speedometer
Sand interior surface of the speedometer face (its got an orange layer) without removing needles
Remove all bulbs from the speedometer unit
Squeeze two sanded down LEDs and a resistor into each original bulb housing
Aim the LEDs so that one points into the prism that refracts light to the needles
Create a diffuser to slip in behind the speedometer face to prevent hotspots from the LEDs
Put everything back together and pray nothing went wrong.

 

Looks wicked!!!

 

+1 on that point!!

What kind of diffuser are you using? I talked to Rever about some high-tech stuff he used. Is that the same thing you are using?

Great job, looks factory.

 

WOW amazing!!!

 

yes... thats the diffuser ALAN's talking about
