Wow, that's pretty sweet. Get rid of the seafoam green lights and we've got a winner! How well can you see through the smoked lenses during the day? Do you have to run your parking lights so the light shines through or can you see the gauges fairly well?

Do you have to run your parking lights so the light shines through or can you see the gauges fairly well? Smoked lenses are to smoked. I used 50% SL Llumar Foil, but now I'm going to install 25%. After spraying black, whole console became too dark  QUOTE (EKAn @ Dec 7, 2009 - 6:24 AM) What did you use to glue the cups down to the console? I Used this glue.  I did installed very bright green LED's but photo's don't do justice. I'm sorry, I didn't planned to make a second one, took me over 15 hours to produce

why dont you use clear glass instead, cus you painted the walls black and the face plate is already black. unless you wanted to dim the led's.

Tinted glass makes it look more luxury. I'm now going to install 25% tinted glass. I'll post new pics once this is finished
