Do you want someone to remove their instrument cluster then remove the mph/kph unit, then remove the face of the kph and scan it?
Are you trying to make some custom guages?Last edited by loganss; 09-17-2004, 02:42 PM.ED

Yes, i would also need tac and gas/temp meter faces. I was thinking if somebody who installed sometype of glow gauges saved the originals and has them lying around, so it would be easy just to scan them.

Put a ruler in the pic for reference.

I doubt you would be able to get efficient lighting with LEDs in there. You have to understand that the light spread on our cluster is achieved with 'light pipes'. All it is a piece of plastic which is located between a light source and the surface needing the illumination. And, the light travels through it. I mean do not get me wrong, its a good idea, and if you can make it work, it would pretty damn nice. But it won't look as neat as it does on the example pictures above. You would need some very powerful LEDs, most likely you will need to add some resistors to control how much light you want to put out, and to prevent the LEDs from being burned out. You would also need to a find some narrow angle LEDs, so you won't have light leakage. And if you plan to use different colors, you have to make sure that the colors don't mix, and end up looking like ass. Anyhow, good luck with your project, and let us know how it turns out."Probable impossibilities are to be preferred to improbable possibilities."
