Got my LED dash lights

**NO_H2O** · #1 December 4th 2004, 09:22

It was time for a rest. I spent the day working on my son's car, pulled the old dash, cut out the spedo area for a 914 guage set and installing a new dash and all the guages. I wired guages untill I ran out of light, came in the house and found the package and had to make the swap. I have to go back to work tonight but I will try to get some pix when the sun goes down.

I tried to take some pix but they didn't come out. Dash lights only are too dark. Add enough light to get a good pic and you can't see the LEDs.

If I could figure out how to get the digi. camera to hold a longer exposure, I would post some but they just do not come out good with the digital camera.

Got the leds from superbrightleds and fitted to mt speedo but it came out very dim! Tried on my friends 914 gauges on his bug also dim. Any way of brightening the light?

Norbert, on those gauges are the white marking ones or the yellow? With the little research I did I found out the blue didn't work very good on the yellow marked 944 gauges but the amber LED worked awesome.

edit: Those gauges turned out great by the way
