blue cluster

Have you done so much to the car today that it just doesn't fit into one section, or are you too damn lazy to split it all up? Either way, this is the section for you.

blue cluster

Post by 1lowcab »

heres the pics of the cluster in the caddy.
4 blue LEDs from advance $8.99.
i'll take some pics of my custom heater valve control later :D

anyway, heres the cluster... i suck at night pics.
it is a little bright at the top, i could have solved that by cutting the light slot a little bigger but i'm not going to worry about it, its good enough for me. :P

Bright, heck, the average light pattern of the cabby gauges suck at the least, I like... I have replaced all the lamps with SuperBrite LED's so I still aint happy with it, but I am working on it.....
