Ok, i was trying to deal with needles, wasn't successful, i have another thread on that
. But i decided to deal with some other things.
First the odometer had a huge hot spot. I forgot to take a before pic but it was bad.
Anyway, i was thinking that sucks, i'm sure they don't make a white diffuser. Well, i was using some paper, hit me-white diffuser
Much better, pretty much perfect. It looks a bit more purple/reddish in the picture. That's not from the paper. The led i used just is a bit off color wise. So it actually worked really well, i just need to replace that led
Now, the second problem. My redline was very orange. I didn't like that much. It also had a huge hot spot
I was messing with some tailight tape i had for needles, thought, hey, this might work. So i carefully cut it to size. Well sort of carefully.
Now it is a nice red. There is still a bit of a hotspot, which is going to be very hard to get rid of. There is a bulb right under it. But there is far less dramatic change in color. Not perfect but defineatly an improvement.
So once i get the needles worked out, i'm done with the gauges. My next plan is to finish up the cruise control, do the sunroof and window switch.
Then, i might add an led for each button on the HVAC. Not really necessary but the first leds i bought were too purplish. Light distribution is pretty good, that will make it perfect.
I'm sure you gus are getting sick of this.
