Mods, if this needs to go to appearance then go for it... several members wanted more pictures and direction....

The fuel/temp cluster removed..

Remove the white back via 12 small screws...

Opened up...

Circuit boards removed...

Place the blue film here...

Now just put it all back together and you're good to go... experiment with how many layers to get the color you want.

Here's a few pics of the EL cluster opened up to give you an idea... same thing but you have to put a little more work into cutting the right shape so you don't cover up the red or the holes and such...






FINISHED PRODUCT:
(digi-cam wasn't the best in the world and the lights are actually bluer and brighter than they appear, ESPECIALLY the blue/red LED climate control but you get the idea)





Money Shot...

sorry for the size, they didnt show up well once shrunk.

The sunroof/cruise/dimmer buttons are also LEDs, as well as the keyring.

 

HOLY CRAP MY DIGI CAM BLOWS!!!! man, i am sorry. I can vouch for everyone here that they are really blue as hell and look really good...maybe another friend with a better camera can take better pics. oh well.

 

thats money

ill try to call you sometime tonight, i had a test to study for last night so i didnt get around to stopping by. ill bring my camera with me since zack's sucks *****.

who the hell is zack?

 

bigz: hahaha, he called you zack

ant: yeah, tonights cool just call whenever

i used 2 layers on the speedo/tach cluster and 5 layers on the fuel/temp/clock cluster and the odometer. They actually match the LED climate control almost perfectly in person but stupid zack's camera didnt pick it up

 

i meant to call him SACK. haha

HOLY CRAP!!! you are the COOOOOOOOLLLEST! hey bring my damn book when you come so i can get my $3 when i sell it!

 

how do you do the LED for the climate controls and the sunroof/dimmer buttons? Looks sweet!!

 

you take it apart, remove the bulbs and solder in LEDs and resistors

pIOUS did a writeup on hpoa.org i believe it was

If you really wanna do it and need some help you can hit me up on AIM sometime. (same name: munscher)

 

munsher, is it that your cam is not bright enough, or thats how dim your lights look?

the camera isn't bright enough.... the gauges are a lot brighter than that in person

semi relevant question
Is the clock's brightness supposed to change with the dimmer as the fuel/temp's do?

with 92-93 brightness control module: NO
with 94+ brightness control module: YES

 

so the LED can be controlled with the dimmer?

 

the digital fuel/temp gauges and clock can, yes... the LED climate control NO
