just a teaser for now, my brother has done a complete change of his dash to blue. This is all stock gauge cluster and other parts so during the day this all looks perfectly normal and not "ricer-ish" like most after market gauge clusters.

Anyhoo, he is still working on some parts and he will have a full DIY when he is done, just a teaser of the almost complete dash for now


(yes its RHD, its an Australian car, so don't get too excited)

 

nice....what kind of bike in the background

RHD Suzuki SV650

 

there's a few diy on this, only difference with this is you use blue bulbs, not red.

 

nice!! how to make it?!

 

My car, and trust me, NOT as easy as just changing orange bulbs to blue. "How to" to come soon.

 

looks quite good

 

Nice FSOSK, that wouldn't happen to be the company ute your wrecked in your avatar would it?

 

actually, it is as easy and changing out the bulbs, buy the right bulbs, take off cluster, the bulbs twist off, replace them. theres 3 behind the cluster i believe. there is a thread on here with a right up on it, but its part of his build

 

RHD EK?

That'd be too weird... LHD FTW! hahaha

 

you gotta paint the clear rings around the gauges black so they are jsut back lit like he did

 

very nice lets see the how to.

 

post a write up when your done? and did you use leds?

 

Yea you need to tell him to get his needles glowing too...

 

Bah, I wish it was that easy MilkmanLCA. How to come.

 

if its any credit i think it looks cleaner his way.. so ill wait for the update....

The light look alright, if you're into that sort of thing.

How cute is the girl that rides that SV650?

yeah this glowing everywhere effect is what he was trying to avoid for a cleaner look, and I think he did.

write up with pics to come, and yes he used LEDs.

 

Yea cellphone camera makes things stand out more than they do..... but I would rather the uv wash and bright needles than the white-ish wash and pale looking needles.

But either way they look good (makes me think I should finish mine...), did he use flex strips or individual leds?

individual LEDs, I think I wasn't there for the actual work as he's in Australia and I'm in the USA.
