Anyone interested in LED gauges?

I did the DIY led gauges in the tech forums and i have to say they turned out pretty well, i did blue and i really like them except now i have like 70 blue LEDS left over and i wanted to see if anyone was interested in the mod.

I did the blue to my 85 MPH cluster, but when i bought the 145 off of the red iroc sfeeny has, i got bored and soldered up those too, so now i have 11 extra ones if someone wants them, all you gotta do is pop out your cluster and swap these with the existing bulbs

Anyone?

Re: Anyone interested in LED gauges?

I'll take them if they will work in a 91 rs' cluster. Gotta replace some of my lights anyway.

shoot me a pm for shipping info and payment if needed (provided its not a rip off)

Re: Anyone interested in LED gauges?

they work pretty well at night, obviously at dusk itd be kinda so so because of the color diffusion when the orange sun is in your eyes, it only took like 2 hours of my time for everything, and one burn from the soldering iron but it happens lol. I think the effort to results ratio is pretty good personally but i was just happy to get rid of that nasty yellow light

Re: Anyone interested in LED gauges?

Yes, torque is good!!! I always try to have at least one of my thirdgens running.... LOL, my 85 T/A is undergoing a MAJOR reconstruction. (383, new paint, etc) My 90 rs is turning into a much more serious track car (427, gutted interior,12 point cage, more suspension upgrades, etc) but my 305 tpi 86 IROC is still running!! U gonna come see us out at the car show (91st and northern) one of these fridays? er, after your liscence is fixed, of course!!!

Re: Anyone interested in LED gauges?

yeah he wanted something original for the color and the car is yellow and black, but if you did a yellow led it would still give off that nasty color i wanted to get rid of in the first place, the UV's would tie into the black on it so were gonna go that route with it lol.

As far as the wing goes he deosnt have any parts for that thing, he just bought it because his 79 firebird keeps failing emissions and he needed something a bit more dependable, ill keep my eyes peeled for one though
