Ok I'm looking for someone on here who can print on clear vinyl? the type that is used for decals on cars, I have a voltage monitor unit for the car, it gives the status of the charging system with a tri color led, what I need is volts printed in white letters, on clear vinyl, to match the existing writing on the icons in the cluster. I'll be cutting a clear insert to fit in an unused slot in the dash, and applying this over it, it has to be clear to let either green, yellow or red to shine through the background. I'll post more details on this project later, I have several items sensitive to over voltage from a bad regulator, so this gives me a constant status on the system right in front of me, I have a gauge, but this is right in my field of view at all times

I need the word volts in white letters that look like the existing words in the instrument cluster icons, I'm going to post this project after I get dinner cooked

I think I'm going to take the red insert out of the battery icon, remove the bulb, and put the LED from the warning system in, I'll probably use this decal to make another blank icon still function as the alternator warning, I put a thread up on the system, immediate voltage status from a single tri color LED, LED indicates an issue then I can look over at the voltmeter to confirm it. It just puts the status in your immediate field of vision, and makes it hard to miss

this is what I would need, something that says either volts, or a lightning bolt symbol, or some sort of electrical symbol, other then a battery symbol, to match these icons that already exist on the plastic piece, I had decided to not use my cruise control after all, so I just water sanded out the emblem, and polished it back up, all i need now is a vinyl overlay

Well, I can't print it for ya, but I can photoshop it. I wasn't quite sure what you wanted, so I made all possibilities of what I thought you might mean. Don't know if you even still need it or not anyway. But if you do, here's the modified image for you. :flash:
