///BHRpowered Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 many of the original non believers are beginning to see that we mean business, our tech sections are thriving compared to the pissbuckets, and when they do have a thread, it is either totally wrong info on hid's, or ghetto ass 20's, or some kids talking about there xbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankzao Posted February 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 How did you get the red centers and needles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallasaurora Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 I like Lem's dash but if I was gonna have to take mine apart I'd just go LED and be done with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 the aftermarket gauges are like that at night, but matches nothing, and during the day its horrible. Â the LED setup is far better, and if you want, you CAN have the contrast. you wanted that look without the extreme daytime rice just put some white led's in there, a highlighter and color 1 part blue and 1 part red.

Frankzao Posted February 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 doesn't the highlighter fade in time? So use the highlighter on the needles as well? What part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renboy Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 What power balance shifted? The dark side is falling, with common sense and knowledge starting reign.  Soon it will be known as RenboysWorld.net   doesn't the highlighter fade in time? So use the highlighter on the needles as well? What part? Highlighter is fine it you're studying, it has no business in a car when modifications are concerned. If you want to change the colour of the needles spray paint them with Krylon Stained Glass Paint. I bought it to change tails, but it would work on needles too.  For the Canadians that are considering this, I bought the paint at Michael's (don't know if it exists in the States). Quite possibly the only useful thing in that store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synesthesia Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 1. BHR will never be banned 2. Evil shall always reign 3. The highlighter will last far far longer then some tinted bulb 4. This is not the time or place to discuss arts and crafts stores. Â -The Joker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankzao Posted February 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 needle not bulb! Â which is better, highlighter or stained glass paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renboy Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 PAINT is better, and it goes on the needle, not the bulb. Though, I guess you could paint the bulb, or both, I've never seen it done though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 painted/tinted bulbs are by far the worst idea, there color will fade within a week and the extra heat generated doesn't help much either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renboy Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 READ!!! Â I said to put it on the needles, not the bulbs. And I guarantee the paint will stay on the needle longer than any highlighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dark side is falling, with common sense and knowledge starting reign.  Soon it will be known as RenboysWorld.net   Sounds exciting! Another spin off from a Mazda enthusiast site. I'm having trouble keeping up with them all!  PAINT is better, and it goes on the needle, not the bulb. Though, I guess you could paint the bulb, or both, I've never seen it done though. I actually used Sharpie for the needles....it works just as well as paint. Highlighter and any other non-permanent marker would not sensible.  BHR: I still prefer the silver guageus over the black '98 stock guages. The 99 & up gauges are much better.
