SMD LED white / red / blue (your choice)
680 ohm smd resistor for gauge led
470 ohm smd for needle
blank clad copper board
led layout templete
needles of your choice
soldering tools.
cutting tools
wiring
color vinyl. (blue work best)
acetone



don't recomend doing led indicator like turn signal, warning ligh, engine check light etc. don't look much difference and it don't stay on all the time any way.

I might do plug n play cuircuit board with led build in for sale later
if any interested. so you don't have to do any soldering at all.
just plug it into your bulbs socket and you have all your light source. the rest is just find your own
needle and some miner stuff.
around $65 shipped.

pics are coming soon.

you should start up your own shop doing this. i bet u would make a lot of money from your fellow cb7 members. just a thought.

damn man . you have sweet skills. pimp move of the week.

Dude, you totally should start your own thing for this. Get a list of like 10+ people, pre-order or something like that and charge like $100 each. I would sooo be on that list.

DAMN!!! Thats some truly impressive skill! I must say Id love to have a cluster like this in my car! Really awesome work!

Here is what I did for my lengend

Where did you solder the resistor to the gauges? Couldn't find that in your pictures. Btw, the legend gauge is awesome!!! You've got creativity!

They in there. just very small

These stuff are very time consuming. I'll never make enought to replace regular job. but maybe some thing on the side.

Peace,

yes it still work

I think I may have just made a circuit that can make the needles change color depending on vtec/ redline! Rather than using an IC to control the function, I think I may be able to use 3 transistors and a simple shift light. I'm gonna run the schematic by the electronics teacher at my college and see what he thinks tomorrow. Using your LED needle mod, blackex I think I may be able to come up with something very cool!
