NEW PICS ON PAGE 6

First off, I'd like to thank Roger for posting that awesome DIY.

This is my first of hopefully many LED projects coming this year.

I was bored over Christmas break so I decided to work on a custom gauges project with my spare Type II cluster. I picked up 100- 5mm super bright white LEDS and 50- 3mm red ones. I had all the other supplies I needed. This cluster has 50 LEDs in it. It's pretty bright. The needles are actually from two different cars- Prelude and Integra. I need to figure out the years they came out of.
Here are some pics of the progress:

just before etching

drilling

Without the needles...

Needle backlights

Let me know if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions!

Thanks for looking!

let me be the first to ask....are YOUR services going to be available?

I have the LED rings + an Integra cluster + the chrome rings....(wink wink)

was the needle calibration hard?

Well I was considering doing custom clusters for you guys on here. but it's alot of work and alot of risk to do this. I may sell this one though and make myself another.

Needle calibration wasn't hard at all. I followed what Roger did in the DIY and everything is either perfectly on or really close to what it should be.

Wow nice job. Good to see another person following Roger's footsteps

Great work Josh! I really like it! I certainly can't wait to do this! How long did it take you? Did you put a resistor on each LED like Roger did (I think)?

Still love the acura symbol on the tach!
