[QUOTE=djtonium]Checkout the difference with amber => blue versus my Luxeon@80mA conversion:
Read your post! That's insane! I don't even want ot know how you had that wacky idea to change the stock LEDs to luxeon! I never thought about having white gauges but I like it. It makes it look high end! If I ever get sick of the blue I think I will change it to white. But not luxeon!! How long did that take you?

Heheh thanks! You left the "/" on the second quote command :-P
It took a couple days to get the job done. In reality, it took about 4 days. I had to cut up the plastic so the wires could fit inside without bending the board.
The "blackout" face design used a blue filter for the numbers, so it really cut down the brightness (I really wanted clear). Replacing the LEDs with white did not work well at all, so I epoxied a single Luxeon side emitters and wired them up. I can make it a tad dimmer because it is still pretty darn bright at night, but it would've killed daytime viewing.
The OIL and VOLT meters definitely a DEFI-BF look for less than the cost of 1 DEFI-BF gauge. :-)
BTW, I calibrated the speedo and tach by making sure that at 25mph, it is 2500 rpm.
