under the electrical porting i have a project posted...

im posting here because has anyone done or know where i can get a cluster face that lets red light shine though like this lotus

http://www.lotuscars.com/type72d.html

That one place. That everyone else gets their shit from. There's links all over the place. But now I can't find them. And I don't think I got a chance to bookmark the page I was on because my friend restarted my computer.

^^^^ass
get red colored leds. i kno someone dat got red leds in there cluster and it shows red

everyone says the red led doesnt really show through the green cluster face.

thats b/c they are retarded and didn't take the blue film that is on the backside of the gauge faces.... lol there is a girl over on dodgeforums that put red in hers... let me see if i can get the link for ya... yup here it is:

yup dats da person im talking about,

guys.... if you look at the lotus.... the whole guage is red and the letters are black... im looking for an overlay that will let red though what is currently white

i dont think they make overlays like da lotus or how u want it. da only ones i seen are the ones dat glow in da dark or white faced

I know Speedhut offers an overlay that is a red gauge face that still lights up red at night. You would be stuck with a red cluster all the time if you went that route.

that actually sounds interesting dante thanks

No problem. I assume you have been to the site by now? They have a pretty nice build engine that lets you see the gauges during the day and night. Not too expensive either.

yea t took a while to find the builder

I'm guessing you're going to light up the guages red when the secondaries open up? If that's the plan, please write up a howto once you are done. I have been wanting to do that for a while but lack the electrical know-how.

lol Star.

So wait, you were looking for a Speedhut overlay? And you've been here for how long and have how many posts?

actually the secondaries thing isnt my intentions but that would be cool, but you can do that with your existing cluster... if you want me to write a writup with the stock cluster i will

Have you done something like that before? I wouldn't mind a write-up if don't mind spending the time to write one. I'm sure all us R/T guys would appreciate it.

Here is where the idea first came about:

ok ill start one now... in the writeup section. ill do it with an LED

ok here you go:

Sweet! Now I just need to decode the best type/location for the LED(s) and I'm good to go.

I wonder if I could use two-color LEDs in the cluster...

EDIT: Do you think that would allow the LEDs to be on the whole time the secondaries are open, or only when they are in the process of opening or closing?

as long as they are open... its on if you follow what i put up

Sweet. I'll be sure to create a HowTo/Log once I get the project nailed down.

Hmmm...bi-colored LED's (Blue and Red) in the tach gauge...normal on blue, then switched to red once the secondary valve kicks on....

That's what I'm thinking, except the blue LEDs I have in there now (ByVampDesign) are shit. I like the idea of my guage cluster turning red with the secondaries. It allows my car to show its true color. Evil!

led's are directional, your going to have to get wide angle LED's or buy 4" neon tubes like i did and throw them inside the cluster

4" cathode tubes in the cluster? I don't follow. Do you have a picture?

yea i baught 3 4" computer neons and threw them inside the cluster to replace the lights. computers run off 12v just like cars so alot of parts are interchangeable
