its not the needles, its all about the paint.

our needles are made of the same crap as everyone elses. the problem is getting the light to reflect through that complex ass system they got behind the gauges.

 

oooooooooo!!!!

the extra replacement cluster i got is awesome. i can tinker with it longer, and that allows me to come up with better ideas. you guys will like what they will look like. and ill have a DIY. it will be great.

check out the work table...

 

wow.. that is a clean working enviroment. Nothing beats working on your car, and watching the Sorpranos.

 

oh...i am awesome...

kinda blurry, but you get the idea. those are the stock faces too, but i wont be using them. i got the same "el" ones i had from before that i will be using. the ones with the weave design. getting the light to be more evenly distributed across the numbers and stuff aint a problem either. incidently, the speedo gets a little brighter as it goes up. and oh yeah, all the warning lights are blue too. 8)

 

I'll post my newest one, I just want to do one set though for me, and be done with it. The trick is getting some hair thin wires so that they dont mess up the needles while they are rotating.

Looks good tibby.

 

well, what i did was just use the existing plastic light reflector things, and loaded a whole bunch of leds to in the direction of the light "receptacle" things. the trick to it is cutting the little plastic arms that pick up the light so that you can fit the leds in there easier.

 

Hmm...

Tibby01, start a new thread with a DIY of sorts on this.

I wanna see exactly what you did.

Needles look great BTW...

 

i will after i find out if the gauge cluster in that pic(RD1) will fit in the opening for my cluster(RD2). it looks like it will, i think the only differences between the two are on the front side of the cluster. if not it wont be a problem.
