ok, another one of my "im bored" projects.
stealth gauges
worked.
i used 35% window tint on the clear gauge cover.
more difficult to see my gauges in the daytime, but i'm going to be upgrading the bulbs to leds soon and that'll solve the problem
nightime viewing is much easier, and less painfull, i run with my interior lights dimmed off and still see perfectly.

hard to tell, the camera is too good. but it is almost black in the daytime, and definantly black at night

one question: why?

 

bad a

 

cause it looks cool.
it'll keep me happy until its time to run full digital

 

I think it looks pretty good. I woulda never even thought of doin something like that

 

the tint idea is cool if i could see the gauges during the day ok. id maybe put different colored lights in. red, orange or blue lights might look nice...the ledlights look kind of cheap and import tunerish to me. just my opinion

 

im switching thegauge lights to white leds, and the leds are nice at night, less distracting
plus they are on with my neons so i know if they're on or off quck and easy
