Hello everyone, about 6 months ago i started doing my air control unit in a led style setup, personally iv been around led lights for a wail so i know how to cram them into small area's but this was my first attempt and i say that i went really good Link to prev post but thats what i made and now im re-stockd on the led's and im ready to finish the project by completing the instrument panel, but be4 start it i wantd to know what you guys thought and maybe some in put on idea's on how the finial project will look, well here's some pic and what im planing on doing, enjoy

This is my stock instrument panel (verry ugly btw)


This is the instrument panel in clear day light


The led that i'll be using (lots of single led's for this size project)


now this is were i need your help... is deciding the combination of the blue and red lights, i made a very nice artsy pictures but if you think u can do better then by all means ; P









what do you guys think of those pattern, should i add more, remove some?

thanks for looking and for any input by all means please post, thanks again everyone

 

I like the look of leds, its just the hotspots that are their downfall. Your color ideas look cool, I say go with the 2nd idea for mph (red dashes on the numbers).

 

sand the tips down to diffuse the light so its less of a spot

 

cool i kinda like the second look also lol,but if i do that should i also try and match the rpm guages? and also justinwebb, your right on the diffusing, the ones that i have right now are some led strips that i bought off some site,there were wack n hella spotty too, i'll draw up a quick pic of the rpm to see what i would look like

 

i dont know about the rpm guage cuz were 7 and 8 is its all red but its like the red is more on that guage then the speed guage, what u think of that set up

 

i liked the first tach better

 

idk im feeling the last pic, it kinda matches the speed gauge right?

 

if you're gonna go all out on the cluster, you should at least get a manual transmission fuel/temp gauge.

 

yeaa i know lol! but its cost too much, they want 65 at the dealer, and the entire instrument panel is about $75 and im only going to use 1 gauge so idk, dam auto to manual swap lol, but man your instrument panel is looking sick man, you did it?

 

yea, i did it
