I had wanted to do this project for the longest time but never had the motivation and/or cash.
Anyways, here is the current stage of my project. I'll post up more pictures as work on this project.

 

looks good man - post pics of final completion

 

 

You should make a DIY

 

those things are gonna be crazy bright... hopefully you can dim them a little... but very nice on the diy...

 

you need a led more in the middle of each gauge to light up the needle. dont you?

Yeah, the lighting is quite bright because the brezel (sp) is not on the cluster.

I'll try to make a DIY during my up in coming winter break from college.

I'm not done with the project yet. Yes, you need to add a led behind each gauge and have it point towards the needle for it to light up more. And I'll be adding a red led to each gauge's needle and add couple of red leds behind the redline area of the tach.
