I've been trying to modify my gauges (well the stock rev counter to start with) so that instead of being lit by the standard bulb they are lit by a set of LEDs.

However I havn't had much luck, if I mount the LEDs at the back of the gague, near where the bulb normally is I get a fait glow round the edge, and if I mount the LEDs in the rim between the face & cover, I get rays case across the face.

Has anyone tired this and been more successfull? Howmany LEDs did you use? and where did you locate them?

I was initially thinking of just using leds for backlighting but that site has given me ideas.

I think someone else was dong this he was going to flatten the tops of the leds to give a better contact with the gauges
