Updated autometer gauges with blue leds

I was looking to upgrade the stock bulbs. I had a few led laying around and decided to install them in the gauges. I might get another gauge cluster that looks more blue.

Yeap, the exterior one look super bright and the needle glows for some reason with those leds. I did not buy a bulb and just pop it in. I used three 5mm bulbs with resisters soldered on wires. 3 leds per gauge. What took the longest was aiming the leds in the the cluters as the mechanical gauges have working parts inside the block direct access to the face.

I drove it last night and everyone was pointing and starring at it.

Not hard just need patience,hot glue gun,solder pen,leds,wires and heat shinrk tubing. It looks great at night. I might sell the cf volt meter and get one with an orange needle to keep things uniformed.
