Are you going to be soldering the LED's yourself or using what's commerically available as a premade unit [LED, resistor, wire already attached]?

This might help you. http://www.theledlight.com/ledcircuits.htmlBtw, you'll need to learn about 'mcd' rating also. Don't be afraid of soldering and such. Putting them together yourself might come out better. The highest ones i found at Radioshack were 11k mcd. Highest ones i found online were 25k mcd and noticeably brighter also [which means they ARE 25k]. |

he has posted in many different forums how he did that. you really must know something about electronics to try and do somthing like that, its not easy and will take alot of time. custom cuirt boards and circuity to make it do the affects once i finish my current avenger electronics project ill probably end up moving on to something similar to that.   |

Nothing a PIC microcontroller and a bunch of SPI LED driver ICs won't solve. Or a jpg of your car and a few hours in Adobe Flash...  I do like that his dashboard was lit in white and not orange. Personally I'd take that over glow gauges, but to each their own. |
