Default Finally Got My McEwen Silver Face Gauges Installed
Well here are the pics. I also put on the 2 deacals as well.. Also i put in red LEDs. NO HOT SPOTS AT ALL.. Did a lot of research to find the right ones!!!!!

EDIT: If you want to know what LEDs i used, PM me. They are not a sponsor here. So i can not give web site info and pricing

So tell me what do you think??






EDIT: i did the oil catch can too




Double Edit: I got the MTI clear lid and added this decal too

He used LED bulbs, so they install just like the OEM ones.

The overlays look great. The LEDs look like they were the perfect choice. Nice job.
