LED S5 guage cluster

Installed my S5 guages into my S4 and thought i would update the lighting at the same time. Turned out VERY well. I coulda made it brighter than in this pic but it was WAY to bright. So i toned it down a bit. Enjoy!

if you've ever had a guage cluster apart you'll notice there is a peice of plastic that shoots the light from behind to in front of the guages so you can see the needles better. So if you remove that peice its hard to see the needles... thats why there is the red glare.

Dont get those.. they suck ***... there is a special type of LED light designed for tail lights... Its hard to explain but they are 1157 style and have like 15 LED's facing forward and 10 or so facing 90 degrees outward so they light up the entire area enstead of just a dot in the middle.

Check out www.superbrightleds.com ... thats where i get all my stuff at.
