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

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