Red LED gauges are done!
i need to do this to my truck! i looks awesome.. how long did it take you to get the whole gauge cluster and everything apart? was that part pretty easy? did you have to take color off? because mine is turquoise right now..
it doesnt take me more than 20 to 30 minutes to get the cluster out. just take your time because its mostly plastic back there. use a straight razor to get the faces off and i sanded the entire thing off the back til it only showed white. i used a translucent model paint from the local hobby shop
Nice job!!
the night shots never do the dash lights justice. i have red as well, took kinda the same approach, just used red taillight tape to cover the numbers after i sanded off the green. I didnt paint the bulbs, but mine looks pretty much identical to yours.
Only thing i dont like bout red lights is when its not totally dark out, the lights look kind of pink..but oh well. Red > typical blue anyday!

so you bought the LED twist in bulbs. I thought they gave as much light as did the stock ones.. I mean I thought the whole point of LED was to solder the bulbs together and make it super bright...
As far as the floor lights looking non ricey the key is dont overdue it. dont go extremely bright, and make sure nothing is visible without actually looking under the dash, And hardwire it, dont use a cig plug to power them
i want to run them to some sort of switch too
