Bob Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I've been fiddling about with the dials, 'cos I've got some custom ones made up for me (courtesy of Mook at Skewer ). I found the simplest way was to use the LED 501 bulbs from http://www.ultraleds.co.uk , but still the light distribution wasn't perfect, and I'm a fussy sod sometimes So I tried soldering in a few rings of leds, fed from the original 501 supply, but again there was a few dark patches due to the design of the casing. So now I'm gonna try these, cut to shape and laid underneath the actual dial faces. Should look pretty good, I hope (please excuse the dodgy phone pictures!)

TrickTT Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 When i did mine, i took the instrument panel apart and fitted the leds pointing backwards, away from the dials. The white plastic back of the instrument cluster reflects a nice even spread onto the dials. I'll have to post some pics one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
