Here is a picture of my Macewens with LED's behind them...they don't look to bad..but would be nice if the led's were spread out a bit more...to give it a more even look.

 

also jsut installed an EQ....did a little custom work and installed it where my Dash Vents were....came out great and works really well.

 

and my gauge piller..lit with LED from behind

 

here's the pic..
sorry for the crappy pics..

 

have any better pics?


they look pretty damn good, i just wouldn't seeing a clearer pic

 

yeah, I can snap a better picture here in a few...

 

cool, mind if i ask what they cost ya? they look pretty good

 

the overlays (made by Macewen) were like $90 bucks...then the LED's were like $20 bucks. I've had them installed for like 9 months now...just really havent taken any pictures of them. Here is a picture of the speedo

 

looks pretty nice, how do you like them ? as far as looks go for night driving

 

What does that bottom gage with the lights do?

 

that is an air fuel ratio gauge

 

Lookin good Shawn.. I still dont get how yours are green and my are yellow! blah, the EQ looks pretty neat there would love some better pics as well

 

if you want green, put blue leds instead of white, blue + yellow = green.

I'm using red personally.

 

they look sweet man

 

that would be the air/fuel ratio gauge...it's really cool. It tells if your car is running rich, lean, or stoich. It's an easy hook up and it's pretty useful. Thanks guys, I can get come better pictures today.

 

so, when are you going to run that thing! mister "never even done a burnout"! J/K! although i do think you should run it still.

 

LOL, i knew that was comin! Well, if I decide to, I'm going to have to have some suspension work done..because since I got it lowered.....it would wheel hop like a b*itch. But...ya never know..we'll see :lala:

 

hey shawn they look great man! need betta pix tho LOL

 

well, who cares how it actually performs, YOU need some seat TIME!

 

I take it you shaved the paint off of the needles? I like the color combo.

BTW: I think the only way you will even out the lighting is to get reverse indiglo overlays. I tried multiple LED setups with different angles and they just would not light evenly with only four holes for bulbs. So I had to get the reverse indiglos.

 

your gauges look great srdynamics1
but actually...no..I didn't remove anyting off my needles...just added the LEDs

 

they look good. i really like the difference mine made when i put them in the ta

 

What brand LEDS are you using?
The needles seem extremely bright, or is it the pic?
Are your needles yellow or orange?
Sorry about all the questions but I've tried many combos and yours looks very different from the results I've gotten.

 

My needles were never orange...they did have a yellow tint to them I guess. Here is the LED's I'm using



Here is the info:

WLED-W4 White LED bulb
12VDC White 4-LED Wedge Base Bulb (194/168 type)
Polarized

And the needles are by far the brightest thing in the dash...I was amazed how bright they were when I installed the LEDs

 

hey guys where can i get those reverse indiglow guages...i love the looks in dynamics car

 

i got mine on ebay

 

Procar Parts:rockon:

 

hey guys i just got those gauges....the reverse indiglo....can i ask you what you wired em too cuz it says not to wire them to your dimmer switch cuz it will cause them to burn out...any help would be good

 

not to highjack the thread or anything but do the reverse glow gauges work in a 90 camaro by chance?

 

And to add to the confusion...what "leds" are you using in the autometer guage with the blue tint? The same ones you listed in a couple posts up? I bought these "194 leds" off of ebay and they seem to work pretty well, but they are not really too bright at night. You don't happen to have a pictures of the whole dash lit do you, it looks pretty good from the pics you have posted.

 

All of the LEDS I bought are exactly the same...and wherever I can use a 194 bulb...I have replaced with the LEDs. So yes, the Autometer Gauge in my pillar is also lit with one of the LEDs. I can try to get a picture of my whole dash at night....

 

If you want them to turn on with you parking lights you can use the switched power wire from your HVAC control light bulb (194). I wired a seperate switch so I can put em on when I want.

 

HVAC lights

both style overlays look really great, though Macewen has a greater selection...

where is that wire and what is 194

 

dunno what wire ur talking about but 194 is the size of the bulb, bulbs that are used for the gauges and sidemarker lights ect.

 

What kind of wire did you guys use for the LED's?

 

well if i understand ur question right, you dont need seperate wire to run LEDS

they make leds in 194 size in every color u need pretty much

 

i have no clue where to hook up the power wire for the reverse indiglo guages. The HVAC control light bulb wire....where is that wire? What color is it? sorry for sounding dumb but there are so many dang wires under the dash that are confusing me. if someone could help me out in detail on this that would be great.

 

I toyed with the idea of reverse indiglo's in my TA. However that pontiac orange color just REALLY grew on me. I don't think I want to change it now. Plus.. it kinda matches my car.

 

The black and grey wires that run to the air con/ heater control's 194 light bulb socket. The socket twists into the back of the unit on the right side. The unit probably has to be unscrewed to get at the socket's wires. You can tap into the these in order to have the reverse glow guages turn on with the head lights. I would use the grey (hot) wire to turn on a relay. I guess you don't have to, but I'm a little relay happy. It will work if you just hook it up to the guages. Make your own ground wire to bare metal on the body somewhere instead of using the socket's ground wire.

 

hey thanks a bunch, I wanted to be 100% sure on the wiring so i didn't fry the guages. brad
