THE WITZL Forums Junkie Toymods Social Secretary Location: Sydney Registered: July 2002	Re: White Gauges Wed, 20 November 2002 22:19 luke.. be careful with those higer wattage globes... the dash illumination circuit may not have the current carrying capacity for them. I had an idea while looking at the instrument cluster last night. Orginially the globes have an omni-present light, which reflects inside the blue housinng for the dials. This then comes around the side of the dials and reflects off the white backed metal facing in front of the dials to illuminate the dials. Problem with LEDs= focussed beam. Hence my idea.... diffuse the LED's like i mentioned earlier, paint the inside on the housing WHITE (bright and reflective) and then try the LED's that way, perhaps witha few more LED's and in different locations. One a side note i tried a 100mm CCFL tube from jaycar to illuminate the standard dials. you can only fit one and it concentrates too much light in the centre (tried UV, Red (pinkish), and blue)..... i wasn't happy, might work better with white dials.
