ive been trying to make some coloured dials but have come accross two probs.

1.the needles dont move coz they hit the paper coz ive got to thick double sided tape.
2.when the back lights are on it shows the wires and the other stuff behind the dials.

any suggestions i need help asap as ive got the cluster out now.

the colour is blue.

You shouldnt use tape, just place them on. there held in by the facia
leave the original dials in too.
also you need to make the holes bigger

cheers ive just put the original dials back in and the cluster back in the car. but il try it tommorow. cheeers.

Post some pics when your done ;)

well i finally got them right they do look good. the next step is to fit a blacklight to the top of the instrument cluster. it looks nuts with the blacklight.

Nicely done mate,

On the blacklight thing i have been lookin for a while and the smallest i cold find is 8'' long and a thick as your finger. They so need to bring out blacklight push in bulbs that would be sweet:)

Otherwise you could use a 100mm ccfl tube they do them in alsorts of colours as well as uv.

just scanned the originals and modified them in photoshop and then printed them onto high gloss photo paper. instead of changing the colour to white i changed it to aqua. was trying to get similar colour to car but this looks great anyway.:cool:
