I've been installing some LED ribbon lights at work. http://s1074.photobucket.com/user/whitedog76/media/08071309261_zps85b5cdac.jpg.html?filters[user]=125630029&filters[recent]=1&sort=1&o=2 I'm really liking the product. They are a 12VDC LED on an adhesive back ribbon. http://s1074.photobucket.com/user/w...amp;_suid=137635881131109065826410308493

I decided to see what they would look like in a gauge. So, mounted them in an old gauge housing and fired them up with a drill battery.

That's pretty slick. Might have to look into that myself, been considering leds for the dash lights for some time.

That is pretty cool. I wonder if they come in blue.

They come in a variety of colors. Most of them are dimmable. Depending on what you get they are a little pricey.

Looks nice. It would have to be dimmed to be usable.

It's a little bright, because the gas gauge is missing and It's a cell phone picture. Plus, I'm using a 15.6v battery.

It really isn't too overpowering.
