Ok so alot of people have asked me how i changed the color of my gauges.. and her is how i did it:
your need:
ultra thin LED strip (can be found at pep boys)
electrical tape
a switch
wire splicers

What your going to do is, on the back side of the steering wheel there is a flat part where your going to mount the LED strip to.. measure that and then cut the Led strip down remeber to only cut off the side that is not attach to the wires..
then clean the surface with rubbing alcohol or windex and let it dry.. position it so that the leds will glow twords the gauges and up into the cluster.
run the wires back behind the steering colom and down under the kick pannel..attach the (+) wire to any 12v source.. i used the second cigg litter in the center consol.. you can also use a fuse tap and attach that to a 12v fuse in your fuse box.. attach the (-) to a grounding source.. you can place a switch anywhere in your car i placed it just under the radio next to the cigg litter... here are some pics of where it is located and what it should look like



this is where the LED's are located



this is my first "how to" so if anything seems confuseing just send me a PM and I'll help you along

it looks alot better in person.. but you get the ideas.. also i dont know what this would look like with the black gauges but with the sport package and the white gauges it looks pretty rad

looks neat.
wish the ss/sc had white gauges

 

can you get me picts of your switch and wiring. I put white faced guages on my SS and been planing this for a while and never gotten around to doing it. thanks

 

yea no problem.. the wireing is kinda hard since i did tie all the LED'S in the car together onto one switch the bulk of the wires can be seen inder the cup holder if you lift it up.. give me a couple mins and i'll snap a pic of the switches

I have a stupid question are your gauge face white or black i know your car is an ls

 

hsi are white cause he has the sport guages. i put a kit on my ss/sc. it used to be black

 

those are mine

 

here are my switches.. another good spot for the ultra thin led strip is just above where i put my switches.. there is a recess area that you can just stick one up in there.. i also have one on the underside of my arm rest that lite up the whole center consol

also yea my gauges are white they came with the Ls sports package

Oh so nice

 

dude just for that im going out right now to try and find me some LED's. you bastard. so if you can possibly get some picts of how you wired if...if you could pop the thing off and show me that would really help me out. but what brand did you use? did it come with the molding tape attached or did you apply it?

 

I should learn how to read. I hate having a base model. Good work on the LEDs though im still trying to think of new ideas for my car.

 

i belive streetglow makes them.. and yea they already have the tape on the back .. if anything look for some online... i'll check for the page where i first got them from.. they are flexable too so you can bend them how ever you want.. give me a min and i'll draw a diagram for you to wire it up

-drew

 

the red wire is the (+) and the green is (-).. use the AUX power from the cigg litter. just splice into those wires and tape em up with some electricval tape

-drew

 

if you tilt your steering wheel down do you see the LED's?

 

no.. the only way you can really see em is if you look through the windshield straight down.. or at an angle from the front.. other than that its hidden..

ya deff went to about 6 differnt stores and found nothing. i found some tape led's but nothing that i really liked. you should find me a link with something good. i have no idea where to start

Did you use the 3 inch strips? cause i saw them and diddnt think they would be bright enough?

 

no the 6 inch then i cut it down.. the streetglow ones i know for a fact you can cut them the other site is diffrent so i dont know if you can.. but in the pics for streetglow it shows that the backing is white.. but mine are black.. just google "ultra thin Led strips"

-drew

 

damn it i knew i should have asked the guy if they could be cut. it was an old dude so i figured he wouldnt know. i think the ones i saw were a white background. also were the ones you bought actual streetglow or some other brand that said they were a division of streetglow?

 

i honestly dont remeber.. but i got it from pepboys and i know all they sell is streetglow.

 

no pep boys in this state,,,gay missouri, wisconsin had some

 

Hey BlueSS-supercharged, where did you get the white gauge faces?
