I want to give props to Dave at doctorisotope.com for hooking up my cluster and HVAC. He did a great job! Did it at a totally fair price and keep in constant contact with me, and had it back to me in no time flat! Check him out before you have anyone else do it!!!!

 

Thanks for the props Jamie. Glad you liked it!

 

pics?

 

I have one of his gauges (a video actually) that I took while testing it.. But none of the whole thing all lit up

 

very nice, i like the brightness the needles have

 

The one with the dimmer down is pretty cool as well

 

wow that color-changing needles are AWESOME!

mad props

i wonder if there is a DIY for that

 

I dig the color change needle for sure!

 

It is sort of tedious work to do it right (includes making small pc boards that mount to the bezel, wiring them to the board, etc) , so no one has really made a writeup on it. I made a quick one for a guy that has done some of this stuff before, and he wasnt real excited about doing it :D

I am working with some manufacturing companies for a project at work right now, so I may see if I can get some of the parts premanufactured for it. If that happens, I may offer a kit for it. But I will have to see how reasonable the pricing is on it. Normally you have to buy in large quantity to have boards made cheaply, so I will probably team up with a couple of others to get the price down if I do it.

 

but honestly, a lot of the credit goes to the customer. They are the ones that design how they want it to look. We (the led swappers) just do the install. So creativity points go to them!

 

^^ thats good news right there, i've been wanting to do this too. hopefully a DIY kit soon

 

very nice. the second vid has the needles that look like mine...

 

I still can't get over how good it looks. I drove around last night like DAMN!!!!! It really sets it all off. I waited some time to be able to do it.

 

even just a standard led swap really sets off the way it looks in the car at night. I remember way back when I first did my all blue swap, and it was a huge improvement over the ambers!

 

Those vids look awesome man! Excellent work as always man.

Amen to that brotha! I only do standard or 2-tone swaps not color changing ones like that (still impressed with yours!) but I always give a friendly disclaimer to my customers before they leave, "Now if you find yourself staring at ONLY your gauges on your way home tonight, it's not my fault if you get in an accident." :D

 

Hey Dave, working on some mass produced pcb's for the full daytime / superbright needles by the way, looks good

 

Working on the same . I am working on a project for work and will be working with a PCB manufacturer, so I may get some quotes from them on this as well (possibly getting a better deal on them that way). I will update as well on what I find here in the next month or so. I would like to get them soon, since I am tired of making them by hand every time! But I have been a bit busy, and autox season just started as well

 

props waiting to see if the kit will become reality

 

Right on man! Keep me posted on your progress and I will do the same with mine.

 

Just wanted to ask, can you adjust the crossover point for the color changes dials? It seems to me you don't really see much color change until 80mph and the real red doesn't kick in until over 100... for legal driving it would seem you almost never see anything but white.
