So I'm always thinking outside of the box, and taking the gauge conversions to the next level. Here is my current mod.

Click the link below to see the video. I will make an animated gif pretty soon.

EDIT: Page 4 has a blue/red color changing needle video

 

Dang, thats pretty sick!

 

is it just the needles turning red as they get higher? if so then pretty sweet! i couldnt tell what it was for the first couple of times.

 

i dont see anything

 

how would you install that if I were to purchase a setup from you? Mixing and matching colors is ok right?

 

omfg that is sweet i hate living on the other side of the country man you should sell a kit or something

 

omg that is sick!!

 

Cool! but it looks like I have to go faster than 80 and reving 5k or more to see real RED???

 

Yea, the higher the rev's go, the more red the needles get. At lower rev's, the needle is white. The speedometer is the same way. At redline, the needles is very red.







Yes, you can mix and match any color you like. I have always in stock blue, white, red, green, yellow, orange, pink, and UV.



Yea, my local customers appreciate being so close to me. I do have a lot of customers all over the country, so you are welcome to ship your gauges. I probably won't be creating a DIY for this, as I had to rewire a lot on the circuit board, and add my own LED's.

 

That is pretty awesome, Even though I never go that fast.

 

holy crap... you really need to take a "vacation" to Orlando, NOW :D

 

It gradually gets more red the faster you go. It wouldn't be as cool if it went from white at 1-2krpms, to red at 3-4 rpms. Same with the speed.

 

Hey Paul could I bring my tC by this Sunday or Monday?

 

Sure, that's no problem. Stop by on Monday.

 

Nice stuff!

I am working on something similar as well. Different approach, but similar base idea. I get very little time lately to do stuff like this. A few mods and kit here and there, but have to spend time with my family as well!


Very good work on yours. looks like the same type of setup the temp **** uses, so you get the gradient glow around the needle as well, which is nice. Keep it up!

 

That's sick

 

you should try making somehting that looks likw the VW GTI gauges or the Mazda 3 gauges, both of them mix blue and red very nice and in my opinion the nicest clusters out today, jsut a thought

 

nice.... always had that going with my other gradient gauges but my customers never wanted to seperate the gauge and the needle itself

well... i'm used to thinking inside the box and finding ways to change that... (vice thinking outside of it.. )... thus the old school lcd reversal stuff was what came to mind for that other stuff..

time consuming but well worth it.. good job paul!

 

THAT IS SICK! I want to do that! haha

 

Sweeeeet!!!! I might be getting that concept too! :D
