    Drove the car to lunch.

    Later, worked on these.

    By far the biggest pain in the ass soldering job I've ever worked on. Doing SMT LEDs without a board is... dumb.

    How hard do you think this mod would be if I were to make the needle change colors as it moved?

    They are probably using 3-chip LEDs and an RGB controller of some kind to control the mix of colors.

    Way more complex than what I am working on. 3-chip LEDs have 3 separate anodes and cathodes (one for each color). You'd really need to do those on boards (not on a scrap piece of gauge face plastic like I did) to keep the 3 traces separate.

    Then there is the minor detail of interfacing an RGB controller to the car so that you can change each needle color based on "whatever" each gauge is monitoring.

    Cool effect, though not really my cop of tea... and looks like a TON of work.

    The reason I am doing LED needles is that I'm changing the gauge backlighting to white LED. The clear plastic piece behind the gauge was designed for the stock bulbs and doesn't route enough light to the needles when you start deviating from stock bulbs. Hence bulding these LED rings to light the needles directly.

    Inspiration here: How to light gauge cluster with LED's - DSM Forums

    I am using different LED strips than those but the concept is the same.
