I'll have to look into this. Sounds like a possible next project on top of the other 4 I have going on lol.

Thumbs up nice update

Nice update without going over the top.

Perhaps a ' How to' on the dial grade?

Just done my rear caliper but in black - yours look better.

i used flexable led strips and just removed the guages and double sticked the strips all the way around the housing. i think i used a total of two stirps. very easy to do, to all of about 20 mins

and thank you for the comments

I'm going to do the same thing on my gauges this weekend. I was just wanting to know where did you wire your LED's into. I'm thinking right into the fuse box for mine.
I love the look of yours I hope mine comes out as nice.
Good job

Hey:

Good work on the dials.

TTTSupra
Just to let you know your rotors are on the wrong sides however you want to look at it. L is for left, R is for right and a direction arrow is on both of them.

Good Luck

Dub

^ By the marking on the wheel, it is correct, the rotor would be wrong.
