Just put in LED Gauge lights..., Awesome! Options

[Brando]

And I love 'em. Excellent product you got there Qarl! They all work perfectly and are eons ahead of the old bulbs that were in there.

Slight problem though. This has brought forth the need for me to re-do the reflective coating in my gauges. I'm talking about how there's a reflective paint or coating or whatnot on the insides of my gauges... just gotta re-do it now.

How, though? I've got a spare speedo that i can learn on dissecting, but how do I go about it? How to not break the plastice on the guages themselves? Has anyone done this before?

I'd be utterly grateful if someone can help shine some light on this situation.

(I know, cheap pun)

Kevin,
I take it you're going to try the blacklight backlight approach? That should prove very interesting either way!

So, i just rebuilt one of my speedometer/odometers. took less than an hour, woohoo! I set it for my car's mileage before the odometer/speedometer broke. I also put some reflective aluminum tape on the inside and polished it out to a near-mirror finish. I think when I get it in tomorrow night it's going to look pretty neat.
