so, a while back i put red LEDs in for behind my gauges, and i was havin problems cuz they werent lightin up right. i knew it was the aftermarket gauges i have, but i didnt know how to fix it cuz i no long have the stock ones. i tried printin them off from the template, but i didnt like how it looked. then i noticed the backing of the gauges made the light white, sorta like the covers they put on the bulbs for the ashtray n cig lighter. i peeled the backing off and wow, what a difference.
any pics??
Lo§'s 99 GTZ
again, this camera really sux, sorry for the teribble quality, but u can at least get an idea of how bright it is...
:shock:
damn that's bright
damn what kinda LEDs are those? I need to buy those exact ones in blue...
But see, with LED bulbs behind your gauges, you get hot spots.
hot as in HEAT hot or super bright light here, dimmer light over tgere Hot spots? I always thought LEDs didnt give off heat
hot spots meaning LED's give directional light so most of the light is focused in different areas where others are barely getting any light
how would you go about fixing that problem maybe putting it in backwards?

the 5 LED BULBS would be the best bet at defeating the focused light problem, 7 bux a pop tho
well the light is going to shine anyway and that way you wouldn't have the "hot spots"
idk just thinking while i was reading
check the bulbs i jus posted, they could be of help, didnt mean to bash u at all eitha bro
my bad didnt see that part
i got mine from www.superbrightleds.com i believe is the website...
theyre the LEDs that actually have 5 bulbs on one socket...so that way it shines almostly pretty evenly in all directions...i got them for like $2.39 i believe...
$2.39 a bulb works much better than 6.99 a bulb.. u got a pic of ur LEDs in action? doubtful since you had to borrow a cam for the grill pics.. but let us kno

yea man those are them...i know the camera sux but those are the leds...
0o shit i forgot u were the thread starter haha... so it looks like 10-40 mph looks bright, dead spot between 40-110 mph, temp gauge is dull, and 3000-4000 pm is dead.. correct? still bright as shit.. maybe i'll use some LEDs and some incadescent bulbs
its actually spread pretty evenly...the reason sum spots look brighter than others, like the speedo for example, is cuz thats where the bulb is, so its brighter there
those white parts are designed to spread the light evenly. Those hot spots are gonna get on your nerves at one point.
