lol thats what i meant. i'm looking at 50 things at one time. if a mod wants to change the title that'd be great!
but to make them reverse el gauges, wouldn't you just need to print the design on the transparency, "reverse" the colors? (yeah, that's a lot of wasted el sheets, but...)

that's exactly what i'm doing right now but i'm just changing the color to it with lighting film for even and bright distribution instead of stock and weak.
if you search for "el panel" you can get some panels although i think they're pretty small and you will need many to light up an entire gauge.

i've searched for el panels, and yeah. they are somewhat small, and expensive. so multiple el strips might even be a better way to go.
but since my gauge is already back lit by LED's...all i'm doing is changing the orange led's to blue, painting the needles blue, and printing off a complete replacement gauge face. Since the link i gave doesnt really get into how to make the template and stuff, ill try and expand on it.
