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?

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 laugh.gif

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 wink.gif
