i want to make a write up... but i dont noe how to upload the pix to the site.... if sum 1 can link me to the write up to upload pix then thanks hahaha


i remember see'n it somehwer on this site but i cant seem to find it anymore the how to upload pix

 

sorry for not editin my own


but i wanted to say thats not hooked up to my car yet kuz my car isnt runnin... and im sad...

what color should i do the back? the numbers i mean...


should it be blue, amber, juss white??? amber wont come out as amber tho.. yellow will make green kuz teh back ob the s13 cluster is blueish greenish.... but blue will come out find and white i think...

o and im using led's

 

Sweeeet... I want some indigo blue ones

 

they look good, keep us updated

 

that look good man...i would like to do that on my 240sx, plz do a write up

 

i would sell them if any one wanted... i can almost do it to any car as long as u hab clear needles if not u hab to buy clear needles from another car or find sum... and i can maybe rig them to the back ob ur cluster


its quite easy tho... i think any one that knows how to make like a basic bulb turn it with just wires and a battery or paper clip haha


but ya you just put the led right behind the needles wit a resistor and wire it up to your bulb that lights up ur cluster and theres a lil hole for ur wires to stick out and

you have to use electrical black tape to cover around the bulb so light wont ecape to the mph or rpm


i used a hot glue gun to glue the led u can use super glue but could get messy wit that...

and hot glue is good because u kan peel it off if any thin...

you can also paint your needles red just use like nail polish remover or ***-a-tone cant spell haha but u noe wat i mean... just ask ur mom or ur chick they should know wat it is haha

and rub off the white and then buy hobby paint or thin u have reallie and mask up the parts u dont want to paint....

ive seen 240sx hab red needles that look reallie stock. not shure if it came stock or they did it themselves i koiuld also do amber blue and hyper white...



i was thinkin of make the fuel and temp green and wire them to my signals
but that might come up a lil ricey haha

but you get the idea rite?

bekuz its fuel mph rpm temp
o O O o

 

looks awsome

 

Won't you have to get the speedometer recalibrated, as well as the RPM's once you take them apart like that?

 

hey i have 2 dash clusters ill send u one if u can do that to one of them

i like white numbers with a red needle is that possible???


pm me ur info if ur willing to do this

 

I think red with red looks nice. Blue with red will look like those cheap gauges you can buy on ebay.

I don't think yahoo lets you take pics from there site. You will have to use a site like imagestation.

 

love the bumping of a 5 month old thread

 

i am interested in this... you should do a write up

 

found a better way buy clear red paint from a hobby shop or glass stainer from a hardware store or micheals it would come out the same too... mayb a lil less brite

 

Damn I didn't even know it was 5 months old.

It is a good thread to be bumped.

Did you ever do a write up?

 

LMAO its been hapining a lot lately...anyways nice job, I would do pink, JDM hotness haha!
