WOW, that looks awesome!!! Any way a fellow enthusiast could get some detailed "de-structions"??? I did the HVAC controls in my Civic with Blue LED's, ans I installed IndiGlow Gauges, so I have a little experience, but I haven't seen the dash in the TA, so it could be a totally different beast!

Thanks in advance, and again, that looks awesome!

1) What dash is that?
2) How hard was it?
3) Can you still dim it at all? Is the dimmer a voltage drop?

Is that an overlay or is that an entire gauge cluster? The reason I ask is because the mileage is rolled back.

Steve, you can do that with the LS1's but it isnt as bright. I put blue LED's in after i installed my Macuwen(think thats spelled right)gauges. Nmine arent as bright but look good.

If your LEDS on the LS1 aren't bright you are not doing it right ..... no offense. I should have mine up within the week. Any questions feel free to email me. I was going to sell it after I did the conversion ..... I figured who would want an odometer with me milage on it ..... oh well.
