So last weekend I messed w the soldering gun and some LEDs and this is the result


I tried to pain the bulbs before but they got discolorized after a few minutes (I forgot to take a picture but it ain't pretty)
The gauges look stock in daylight.

 

looks good. i see a few hot spots but nothing to really worry about. what size led's did u use? just a standarn individual led bulb?

 

woooowoooo

 

to reduce the hots spots and infuse more light, take them back out and slightly sand the led's with 800 grit till its all scratched up this will scratch up the lens and infuse the light more check my avatar out, thats my gauges

 

Does anyone know if you can get different shades of colors in led's? cause i am looking for a darker blue then what the normal blue puts out

 

Yeah, just normal 5mm and 10mm LEDs and some resistors. Thanks for the tip Ej1 and Fiir, it's standard blue and it looks a lot darker than that out side. I adjusted the camera to get better picture.

 

I know that this might be a dumb inquiry but can't you just change the bulb to another color so that way you don't have to worry about it getting to HOT or even to bright. I thought about that but what do you guys think

 

ya you can, you can buy LED balbs that just plug right into cluster..but 2 bulbs are like $10-15
