Talking Gauge overlay is installed - pics

Gauge control switch installed. Looks pretty nice, huh?


Day time pics of gauges. They are actually silver, not white. Pics hide the color.




Night-time pics with illuminated gauges.




My LED foglight switch is complete as well.

The Gauges are illuminated blue, as is the odometer. My fog Light switch has a blue LED behind the symbol, and a blue LED shining through the opening. My radio controls and headlight switch are white LEDs, but appear blue when they shine through the buttons. The pictures make the colors look funny, but in person everything is a matching blue.

I am going to put some blue LEDs behind them and then I'll see how they look. If I don't like the clear *****, then I'll steal the unmolested ones from my buddy who tore my rubber boots off. I'll post pics when I get those done.

Which overlays are those? Is the hi-beam in the right place? Are all the other indicators in the right place?

They look great, don't get me wrong, but they seem to look kinda unfinished without a gauge bezel. Regardless, it does look good.

Hey those look familiar and might I add very good looking. I got the same ones. I did the same as ncSSu and mounted the dimmer under the dash. I dont really need access to it as the green doesnt look that great on it and if you wire the overlays to the fog light switch, the factory dimmer dims the overlays

I got the same overlays, they have some indicators in the wrong spaces, but for the price I'm not complaining too bad. I like how you mounted the dimmer for them, I just stuck mine under the dash, didn't think I would want my gauges green anytime soon.

I have the same ones, but I cut all the extra overlay around the guages. Then I bought a t/a bezel. I dont have any pics but it looks pretty good. I risked ruining the guages but they where cheap so I cut away. But I would have placed dimmer some place hidden, not something I would display.
