Custom Scion XB09 Gauges
I'm installing green leds to the circuit board but i need a new like overlay so it doesnt come out like orangey/green. Where can i find a good one that utilizes green in it ?

well the leds can be changed on the circuit board itself....but if you dont change the face plate it will take ur new color and mix it with the original orange face plate...in my case it would be a gross orangy/green color

www.customxbgauges.com has many gauges in lots of colors. Maybe one of them can be helpful to you?
btw, I'm not affiliated with them at all. |

There's a bunch of examples on the bottom!!! :D |
Theirs a guy on Ebay that sells a kit to change it, dont know if that is what your looking for...

I actually had Lvbitwiz do mine. He did a really nice job and used the photos I wanted!
I'd post pics, but I'd get the banhammer... |

I'd post pics, but I'd get the banhammer... THere's a DIY thread on how to make your own, that's all I used it really isnt all that hard https://i108.photobucket.com/albums/...eedles3005.jpg https://i108.photobucket.com/albums/...needles005.jpg |

ledmod.com has the gauge and can do one for you if you just explain it to him abt hoe you want it and the good thing is that you dont see the little signals and stuff but they appear if they light up like on my pic |
yea hit up the DIY thread... i've made my own (with pretty decent results):
http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~ov0pm0vo/xB/xbg/xbg14.jpg http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~ov0pm0vo/xB/xbg/xbg15.jpg http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~ov0pm0vo/xB/xbg/xbg10.jpg http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~ov0pm0vo/xB/xbg/xbg11.jpg to get the colors from ur LEDs to seep-through correctly and cleanly, u'd need a transparent grayscale mask (100% clear on the stuff that u want lit up) and another separate mask of vellum paper (using maybe 25% transparency to prevent bleedthrough. check the thread out though, there are better details there. ... thread is started by unity i believe. |
