DIY centre gauge pod

So I didn't want to pay 100 dollars for a gauge pod, so i made my own and it came out quite nice I'd say

I drilled a hole through the base into the gauge cover so no wires are visible and ran it to my radio ignition power cable

They look like generic "glow shift" overlays that were popular back in the day. I'm open to being corrected though. =)

Edit: Your avatar is fantastic btw SA3R.
