Here is my cluster RIGHT NOW (with mylar, NOTE THE SHITTY BLUE ANNOYING LED FROM SUPERBRIGHT. STAB STAB STAB.):




Here are old pictures of a set of WLED-x5:

Here is a comparison to show LED clarity and definition compared to crap incadescents:

 

Here is a couple showing my indicator lights:

fugly pic with weird (or maybe correct) balancing:


Regular pictures?:







Let me go ahead and say the cluster lights are Amber, and the indicator+odometer is RED. The Red is very nice, although it looks pink in the pictures, its actually VERY Red normally.

 

btw, I think the blue turn signals are FUGLY. Try other colors, if you don't use amber for the main gauge lights, I think they would make good turn signals.

 

Changed mine to yellow and really love 'em. Blue is interesting. Tried red for a while but kept feeling something was wrong at every turn.

 

Share some pictures of all the colors you got!

 

Well, not much to show for experimentation other than I removed the turn bezels, found the best solvent to remove the green and then tried red and yellow lens-repair tapes.

Oops! removed the green without damaging the mask. Goo Gone removed the green AND the mask which is fail and cause me to order another cluster just for the lens. This experiment is important because if you have an NA and want to remove the green film from the increments of the speedo and tach faces, you want to do it without damaging the mask. Some people use sandpaper but that makes me cringe a little. Good for them though.


Cut tape with Xacto onto turn bezels


I hated the red turns so I stuck with yellow which I love. Combined with amber LEDs, they really pop out nicely, not bliding but sharp.


Trying to time the picture with the blinking lights, lol. I also modded the ODO to the same yellow by removing the stock "purple" piece and fabbing my own lens with same yellow lens-repair tape I used for the turns.

 

my color changes in the odo were to remove the purple filter, then I a semi-transparent white sheet to disperse the LED light. tbh the semi-transparent paper didn't do much, but I felt accomplished! lol.

Did you use LEDs Alex?

 

I sure did. I didn't think about the paper but I did spray the lens with matte clear. The more coats I added, the more the diffusion.

 

Should we merge the thread where i did mine?

Good idea Tadd! Would you like to try it or should I go ahead and do it?
