Default Want Custom Gauge/ Dial Lights?

Hey guys...

I have been searching around on getting some blue LEDs put into my dash panel to replace the existing ones. I was planning on tackling this myself, but after I realized I did not want to solder my electrical board in the dash, I kept looking for other options. I came across this company (SpeedHut), which many people seem tohave success with,that makes custom bezels, dials,etc. They let you pick custom colors, add text, add logos, and other cool mods. I have been playing with ideas for mine all night.

For the Ram, they are currently taking orders for years 2002-2005. Once they get up to 25 pre-orders they will start the actual construction on them (right now there isnt enough demand). The way it works is you put down a $1 deposit now, and once they have 25 orders or more they will start production and contact you to see if you would still like the product. If so, then they charge the rest and they complete your order.

Enough blabbling, here is the website where you can read all about ithttp://www.speedhut.com/
And here is the order form for the Ram, which lets you play with all the different options and customize your own dials if interested: http://www.speedhut.com/15orders_el_..._number-94.htm

If you are curious, this is the one I plan on getting. The only difference is where it says "DODGE", I am going to send in a custom "HEMI" logo.
Option 1-

Option 2-

Night: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...e22/night2.jpg

(Which do you like best?)


One good thing about doing the pre-order is that they give you text, logos, etc all for free (which they normally charge for). Not sure if anyone is interested in doing this, but I am most likely going to order mine sometime this week. Just wanted to get the word out in case other people were interested too.

P.S.- I know Titans blow, but here is a pic I found of a guy thatgot his through this company. http://www.titantalk.com/forums/atta...g?d=1200659523I am not sure which style, colors, etc he chose (And he obv didnt get any custom graphics or text). And the dumbass doesnt know how to hold a camera still. Typical Nissan #%$^*@. Oh well.

Option 2 looks nice. Option 1 has too much clutter over the numbers.

Agreed, option 2. Looks very classic.

I was actually looking at those a while back, but opted out for the cheaper version and just tossed an LED strip in my instrument panel..

I like option one with the two designs switched around.
