Speedhut has colored dials for the Z in both EL Glow and Reverse EL Glow at 80$. For those who want an easier way...

Do you have any pictures of your process, maybe a few tips or pointers for someone who wants to do the same to their gauges? ANy knowledge you could drop would be cool

yeah its placement of the LED's and also i put mirrors 1/3mm mirrors in the gauge cluster and it evened it out well. i have 1 hot spot on the 6 but its not very noticable in person unless your looking for it. they look 10x better in person then pictures and videos (as you probably know)

Noobs,
You guys need to learn what diffuser is
. Call Alex at Black Cat Custom. He should be able to tell you where to buy the diffuser vinyl that he supplies with his gauge faces. The only way to get true smoothness and eveness through out the cluster, like in my picture, is careful placement of this diffuser material. You have to mimic the placement like on the back of the stock gauges.
