I tried it last nite while taking a break during my preparation for midterm and project. It took me about 30 mins.

I did it different way. With my method, you don't have to lose anything. Everything is REVERSIBLE (entropy change is zero.. lol)

are the RPM/MPH gauges still green? If they arent, then I totally want to do this

G_Loc · 04-11-2003, 05:41 PM

whoa

niceeeeeee

how?

Forbidden · 04-11-2003, 05:55 PM

Really nice

If I had some EL gauge and I knew it could be done to the JDM climate control I would do it too :P

cifer6425 · 04-11-2003, 06:02 PM

whats your method???

Satan_SRV · 04-11-2003, 06:30 PM

personally I think I would have used a darker blue for the film I think...but yeah I'd like to hear how you did it.

dublued · 04-11-2003, 07:25 PM

ok, just tell me this.... where did u get that piece of plastic or film that you are using. looks pretty straight forward other than that.

i bought a gauge bezel on ebay so to install those i'll be opening it up... might as well do this too.

ExodusFX · 04-11-2003, 07:35 PM

Yeah, how did you do it?

mr. r00t · 04-11-2003, 08:54 PM

It looks nice. I would agree on going darker blue, but seriously man, that's really nice job. I'm going to do this once it gets warmer and I get lazier.

mciampag · 04-12-2003, 06:43 AM

Bah, no such thing as a reversible process, entropy change must be > 0

Machine Head · 04-12-2003, 08:36 AM

Don't leave us hanging how did you dooooit

kennethmina · 04-12-2003, 11:37 AM

I will have my writeups soon. Please wait.

SlowSi · 04-12-2003, 02:48 PM

Would look strange if you didn't do the tach and speedo, too.

MR.CLIFFORD · 04-12-2003, 02:54 PM

Looks pretty good

Redline · 04-15-2003, 11:38 AM

Nice work bud.

mehawz · 04-15-2003, 01:15 PM

you didn't use that walmart bag as the film did you

anyways, that looks very good.

Looks good, wow 1st car on PO.com I've seen with a full tank :lol:

munscher · 04-16-2003, 04:49 PM

yeah, definately looks good, i did this same thing on my lude about 2 months ago... it looks SOooooooooooo much better than the green gauges... i also blued out the rpm/speedo gauges, but they're standard (not EL), i have also redone my climate control and key ring with blue LEDs

SoFlaLude · 04-16-2003, 05:09 PM

Hey Munscher, got pics? Would love to see this... and how'd you do it for the speedo/tach? I don't have the EL gauges either and may be taking my dash apart sometime within the next 2 weeks...

there is a nice write up in the 5th gen faq on how to change over to led's was it hard though? or just soder in the new ones, di dyou have to mess around with resistances, and also do you have a link to the exact leds you used?
