Modded dials
« on: 10 March 2010, 19:41 »
right finally got round to taking some pics, not that pleased with them tbh honest as they dont so the dials any justice at all.
Basically i've put a strip of uv leds in the slot that the old green filter used to sit in and changed the needles to anni orange/red ones. Also sprayed the dial surround matt black to reduce the light reflection.

Trust me there is so much glow off the needles that i have to turn the brightness down or i keep looking at them when i'm driving!!! the pictures dont really show this well enough   :sad:

and here they are..

full brightness


minimum brightness


and another

but the original is the best of course...  and the green is a clash = needs to be red or blue  :cool:

mine are so bright i cant even focus on them

these are the clocks with SMDs behind the screens so no filters, this is the real deal

Sorry for poor pics, my camera is useless.

The screens are going red once the leds turn up!



Switches will remain secret until they're ALL done :wink:
