[jack.mc]

from that seller? or from someone else? cos theres no way i'm paying more than $150 max

[Full Spectrum]

Are you sure that is the one your after, There is another one that does custom jobs, I'll see if i can find the link and a pic, And this other bloke is very cheap. I think this one might have been done before here???
But anyway if that price is good i wouldn't mind something myself i liked the white dials at night thats what i really want in my car.

Hi all,

Just picked up one yesterday for $70 from a guy on the northside. Its white face with blue letters/numbers like the one that has a night time shot up above, and also has HOLDEN and lion symbol in red printed around the dials. gonna try putting it in myself tonight might take some snaps if i get a chance.

let me know if u want his number.

Cheers,
Chris.

No i actually like the ones in your link better, It's what i have been after a bright white dash.

Hey guys - just fitted up the one i bought last night.

[Full Spectrum]

Pretty flash looking.
Is it hard to see in the day? And is the slight shadows in the night a pain at all?. Love the lion and holden in the night

[Stretchomatic]

CMI83 that is awesome, i wouldnt mind the slight shadowing for something that looks as nice as that...nicely done...

Where'd you get the pic from? Thats from my car!!
Thatss the custom BT1 one that I got made up last time I organised the group buy.

I will say this once and once only, that guy will not be doing a group buy on here. He stole scans of the dashs that me and others posted to make his designs.

You wont have light and dark problems with a standard car. That pic is from my car, being a BT1 the speedo needles dont light up (there is no globe for it) there is a light above instead. Since the globe isnt there, less light is produced hence the darker spot.
I have had mine for over a year now and you dont even notice a light or dark spot.

I didnt know the needles didnt light up on BT1 speedos, is this true for all model BT1, i have a VR one im going to put in mine soon(ish), i hope. I knew the light on top lit up the cluster, but didnt know the needles didnt light up. Can you put globes in to do this?

Cheers

Thats shocking for an EL setup i hate to say, the brightness should be uniform across the cluster, not dim in the middle near the top. I managed a better job just using LED's for the background and leds for the needles.

Do you have any pics of your dash? Was it easy to change to led lights? might give that a go i want white dials on on dash not green

Yeah ill put some pics up later tonight, my dash is blue face with green needles. I have also done a VS stage 3 dash with blue background and red needles. Finally ive done a VY dash in blue also.

Stage 2 clusters are quite easy to do but Stage 3 can be a little hard and time consuming as the light is harder to spread evenly over the cluster. I mainly use 10m LEDS for backlighting and 3mm for needle lighting.
