LED swap
 
So it's finally done! After a massive amount of testing various LEDs, I've gone with these ones and I think they look pretty good. Special thanks to @Acree for some helpful disassembly tips.

Thoughts?

Hoo-Aah!

That looks very professional......

Not confident enough in my soldering skills to do this, but looks great!

Wow that looks fantastic! If my car wasnt red, I would be all over this!

Acree 03-04-2013 04:19 PM

Nicely done. I wouldn't have changed the needle LEDs, or at least found some clear needles, but other than that, good job!

That redline is a ***** isn't it? ;)

I wanted to make the needles clear. But taking them apart is waaaaay too hard for me. Not sure if the GT (FRS) needs look the same from the back, but the GTS needles are fused together with a heat stake. I don't mind the colour it makes actually.

But if you can point me to where I can buy clear needles, I'll most likely buy some.

The redline was ok... I just photocopied the face and used that as a template. It was still a bitch cutting out the cellophane perfectly though.

Cheers

I am willing to. But I can't say it'll be cheap. It will likely take me a whole day. More if you want the same effect with the numbers being white.

However, if you're still interested, PM me.
