OKAY, this is just too much. I've always wanted some kind of gradient look - red for the higher ranges on the speedo and tach. So, combo that with cool blue low ranges and white numbers, plus maybe blue needles... is there more to the gradient than just different LED colors?

I'm going to do this myself (maybe I can bribe engifineer to help me out) so any tips would be muey helpful.

we opend the lcd screen using an exacto knife... carefully prying it open, then cleaned off the adhesive with goo gone, then flipped it over (reversing the polarity). and thus it was. lol. it was actually easy... cause trung did it. lol

it's polarization to be more exact.... people are gonna start to think about polarity like power..... no eletrical work done there folks...

just a basic knowledge of how a lcd screen works.. that's all.
