Got my blue gauge lights

Well I know a long time back I was talking about putting LEDs in my dash, I had a hard time with that and kinda gave up.... But I saw this thing called Neon Glow Wire on a old jeep site I used to go on. So I started looking around for it and low and behold advanced auto had it so, I picked one up today and got in installed! The Pic DOES NOT do justice this looks very good and is much brighter than it looks! Plus it was much easier that sodering 18 LEDs on those small plastic clips LOL

I think I might try and put one LED per clip just for a little extra light.

not bad...a few years back I had put in the colored lights and they have all but burnt off the color now, so maybe this will be the route I take when I do a dash swap

Thanks guys! Its much brighter than it looks in the pics I got some more tonight with my GF camera I will post tomorrow they are really blurry but you get the idea of the light it puts out.

About installing it was very easy I just took the panel behind the clear plastic shield off (the one that reflects the light its painted blue on the backside on third gen someone said to paint Gloss White for brighter light I did'nt) and used the supplied super glue to attach the wire I was going to take pics and I did'nt
The wire its self is no bigger than 14 gauge wire. I bought the 5 FT wire and I was able to go around the tach and speedo twice or very close to twice on the speedo. I will get those pics up tomorrow when I get her camera!
