anyone know where to buy faceplates?

 

yeah google blackcat customs.

 

So it just says led conversion what size bulbs are they and where did you get them? I have been wanting blue for along time... is it just a bulb in a socket or did you have to do wiring and stuff?

 

there are PLCC2 LEDs that need to solder into place. no bulb and socket



this will give you an idea how small they are...this is from mine conversion

 

Is that where you got the gauge face or is that who did the LED conversion for you? Looks sweet, I hate the stock color amber color.

 

damn $110 for those pieces of plastic?

 

so this isn't something anyone could do ? I mean I can do some pretty basic stuff but on a scale 1- 10, 10 being hard 1 being easy would you rate this a 5?

 

Is there any way to change the color of the needle to white?

 

Those look awesome! How much did the whole process run you?

 

I think he did them himself.
The job is a lot more about labor and knowledge/experience and less about materials. Or so I thought.
LED DIY mats are usually pretty damn cheap.

Its something I thought about trying out also, but would need a lot of down time and research to pull it off.

 

I have no clue what i'm doing when it comes to electrical work. I'd love to have this done though. Does anyone know of a place i could send my gauges to & lighting pannel to have this done? whats the average cost of something like this? It'd look clean to have your stock gauges look/light up the same as your aftermakarket ones.

 

that is where i got the gauges from---i did the conversion myself i dont know who did matix101vz conversion

here is a pic of my gauges


so this isn't something anyone could do ? I mean I can do some pretty basic stuff but on a scale 1- 10, 10 being hard 1 being easy would you rate this a 5?.....it was about a 7/8 depends on how good you are at soldering so you dont mess up the circuit board


Is there any way to change the color of the needle to white?----no you cant change the needles cause they are made of a neon orange plastic that reflects the light thorough

 

the factory gauges wont work that great because there is a piece of orange vinyl on the back of it...the aftermarket gauges our clear backing

 

Hey lawrence how long did it take you to do this? Would you be interested in doing this to my car of course I would pay you and your local too makes it easier.

 

it doesnt take too long really..i still havent completed my yet...my car has been in the body shop since 1 Jul...all i have to do is convert the ac controls...
the longest part took waiting on my gauges

 

solder tiny LED lights onto 2 tinier metal plates

 

'twas us



We will be vendors tomorrow Until then...

 

hurry and become a vendor

 

+1

 

DAMN I want this done sooo bad why can't people be in CALI that do this!!
