Re: changing color of numbers on dash
I thought about RED LEDs and talking to the maker of the Faces, it was decided that white LEDs would work out the best.
I had the RED in the Gauge Faces made as red as possible and integral to the Gauge Face along with the Blue FORD and SVT so to avoid the isolation (that still may happen) white was the only color that would work.
Now I still need to get the Indicators as RED as possible.
I hope to work on the Cluster today and see two things; how the added 194 LEDs work out and how the two RED 194 LEDs look in the center of the cluster.
The 194 LED use 4 SMD LEDs on each with an individual angle of light of 120 degrees so together they spread the light wider than a single LED of any type.
This is all in my head too, I listened to what I was told by the Gauge Guy, read all I could take of this Site’s and RF.com and other Site’s LED How To’s and decide this to be a good approach.
Of course I will not know if my thinking is good for sure until it is plugged in.
I have one other thought… what can be done about a reflector against the back of the Gauge Housing ?
Any thought ?
