Post by: jseifert on February 28, 2007, 12:07:00 am: What about the LEDs???

I have heard a lot of people sayin that they burn out quickly........

Post by: VileZambonie on February 28, 2007, 03:57:00 pm: LED's for what? I thought you were asking about the white gauge covers?

Post by: jseifert on February 28, 2007, 11:48:00 pm: That same site has the different colored LEDs to put in the dash as well.... But I was told that they were not a very good brand of lights. Burn out within a couple years...
Title: Got these
Post by: raymix on March 25, 2007, 07:31:00 pm: Got those white labels on my gauges and looks nice but
you gotta take time to apply them.

I had took the all dash gauges out of the truck,
cleaning dirts and dust. I recommend doing this
in a warm place (like in your home).

As for the LED's, I put 194 type thyat I bought from Canadian Tire (ya i'm in Canada) or you could buy these from any hardware stores for cheap.
I highly advise you to put LEDs instead of stock lights that you already have, or else it will look yellow-ish and sad.

It's a quick and cheap way to get white gauges.
But it won't beat any autometer gauges look !
At least, you'll keep the "vintage" look of your gauges (in white !)

Title: you're right
Post by: raymix on April 01, 2007, 09:48:00 pm: Yup these are stickers but if they are well applied, it looks nice, just watch out for the air bubbles underneath !

That's why I took off the whole thing inside the house to make a clean job.

Post by: woodys86sw on April 03, 2007, 12:44:00 pm: I had these on my '86 but took them back off. They looked great but the sticker over the heat and air blocked the light and could hardly see the gages. But they did look good on the gages. I also have the led's behind the gages. I got the blue ones.

Post by: jseifert on May 03, 2007, 02:07:22 am: I think the "white" gauges look good on anything... You might just wait on the LEDs, havin them the same color of the body would really go good...

Post by: 86swb on May 03, 2007, 07:53:36 am: The white overlays really look great and if you decide to remove them it can be done with no problem.
