I think those are fiber optic lines. One bulb changed and you've changed them all.

Is there a way to make the gauges light source more powerful/brighter? If not I think Randman1'* got the right idea with just using a blue film. That looks pretty sweet though, nice job. One last thing, how is the dash red to begin with? Is it painted, molded, film?

yes i did, and i posted something about it back then, its jsut to long ago for you to remember

yes there is, get brighter bulbs, which i am doing, they are goign to be PC168'* instead of PC194'*. they will be twice as bright. check this out http://www.bonnevilleclub.com/forum/...371&highlight=

the dash is red by a thick red coating, probably paint, almost molded into the plastic, then a white layer is over that.

randman and i have been discussing this a lot, and he has gave me several options to make this work. so in another couple months i should have something better

Good job on trying to change the color and stuff but it turned out terrible IMO and wasnt worth the effort. Nice try though.
