Rich_Rolla Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 oh you want me to give all my secrets away, hehe. when i get time i will do a write up, am "restoring" Ryan's sometime soon, but keeping his black with white numbers, will be the same process thou so i will get photos of each step to make it easier as well. i kinda just made it up as i went, I'm sure there are easier ways. Thanks heaps. I want to do something similar with my falcon cluster. Quote
Murd 55 Posted March 10, 2009 Author Report Posted March 10, 2009 Here is the new cluster in, used the original speedo/odo unit to keep it legal of course. got some blue LED's from auto barn $8 a pair 3 needed for the illumination part of the dash. put clock back in to fill the hole so i don't get blinded by the LED behind it, will be gettin a tacho soon hopefully =] anyway, much anticipated for photo time XD Quote

Murd 55 Posted March 10, 2009 Author Report Posted March 10, 2009 they are LED's so no. they are good brightness, slightly brighter than stock, obviously it is hard to get the exact light in a photo so it does look far nicer in person. Quote
drc_ke20 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) they are LED's so no. they are good brightness, slightly brighter than stock, obviously it is hard to get the exact light in a photo so it does look far nicer in person. sweeeet,i might do the same on my ke20??? there is :cool: copyright on those LED dash conversion of yours right?LOL! :D Edited March 10, 2009 by drc_ke20 Quote
roladude Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 Next on my list to do is paint the dails white and use blue leds :D That looks awsome :cool: Quote
nickyboy Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 i don't know if i could stand looking at that... after a while hurts my eyes haha. Quote
LukeAE71 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Yeah to me it looks fairly bright and could get annoying. Is it as bright in person as it is in the pics? Quote
Murd 55 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Posted March 11, 2009 nah not really, could always get less powerful LED's i guess, but can't judge how strong they are till theyre in, on the black (clock) can barely see the light IRL. Quote
greenmac80 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 you can get dimmers for LED's. i can't remeber where but google it maybe? Quote
Tume Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Agreed with the dimmers. Thought you could get them from autobarn aswell. Mate has them in his VL and looks good. Where are you getting a tacho for the clock area from? Quote
Murd 55 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Posted March 11, 2009 somewhere, and i know you can get dimmers for LED's i just don't think they are an issue yet, but i havent really driven at night yet except to test it was all working. tacho will probs be offline or through a friend who installs gauges professionally ect.

Murd 55 Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Posted March 16, 2009 cars off road :P sucks having to get a lift to work :( still drives, but worried the diff is going to give out on me whilst driving. hopefully get fixed this weekend! Quote
