holy shit that is so awsome. please tell me how to do this, parts need, and everything. i want to hook this up to something different im installing in my AV6...but the stuff is the same idea

I don't get it? All this science and wiring tech to make a rave in your car? I respect the work you are putting into this, and will admit any day that you are much smarter then I am, but I don't see what's so cool about having neon lights all up in your car...
Not neons... LEDs. They replace the standard instrument cluster lighting as well as the lighting for the Autometer gauges and my shifter. It's nowhere near as out there or obnoxious as a stack of ill-placed neon tubes. The real beauty of the setup is that I can switch it to white light and you'd never be able to tell there was any modifications done.Originally Posted by shane_lxi
Why'd I do it? It's a challenge of my electronics skills and creativity. It's also unique and has yet to be reproduced to the level that I've gotten it. Sure, there are the seven color gauges and lights, but this is literally any color you can dream of.
The project as of now is on hold till I can get more revenue to get the parts I need. Everything's just about ready to go, I just need to get the LEDs and I'm set. Some of the more interesting ideas I'm mulling over are interfacing the warning lights to their respective gauges. If you lose oil pressure, the oil gauge on the dash will flash red. Same with the voltmeter. The fuel pressure gauge will take a bit more, as I need a pressure sensor and more electronics to make that work.

You have some wonderful skills there sabz. Maybe you can do mine next
Amazing, I know somebody on SHOforum you may be interested in meeting, he did a complete digital conversion in an 89 SHO. Granted it is a bit different from what you're doing, I'm thinking alot of the same rules may apply. But then again I don't understand one fucking thing that's been said in this thread.
Military style fears God not a stranger.
That's ok, just keep thugging
You sure wouldn't want to forget where your gears are at night.
Dude, what the hell is your problem, it's not your car and that was just plain insulting. I think what he's doing requires alot of knowledge and skills that most people don't posses. Including you I'm guessing since you don't have enough to respect what he's doing.
He can do whatever he wants, I just see no purpose in it.
Why not put that skill and money into something to make the car drive better.
Just my opinion.
Is that knob especially made for the led's?
Dude i gotta get me one of those damn things!!!
IT IS NOT JUST THE SHIFT KNOB. THE DASH CLUSTER AND ALL AFTERMARKET GAUGES WILL DO THE SAME THING. It's a replacement for the dash illumination as a whole.
Not flaming at you, just some of the guys haven't noticed that this project goes beyond the shift knob. That was simply the test to see if I could get such a thing working. Hell, I could out a couple of these things in the H4's and have them do the same thing.

Okay, I was thinking long neon tubes that pulse to your music, and a bright green neon under kit, lol. Okay, so LED lit cluster, and shift knob. SOunds good, you doing anything with the center console (ae: A/C control, stereo face)?
It prolly didn't cost taht much. And little projects like these are what hones your skills for being able to do bigger stuff later on.
not to mention that it's the little things that we do to our cars that make them different. How many people have you seen do this? I love it, it's a good project that doesn't take away his car while he is working on it.
*** If your not willing to spend the energy to get what you want, at least spend the energy dealing with what you have ***
So, what's new on this project?
I was wondering what route can we take for the Radio and Fan control console... those use a white bulb already. It's the buttons that are tinted. Like 4 years ago, I tries to scrape off the green coating. It did work but if you scraped just a little too much, the button would become transparent and look like shit....

Nothing new nowstill saving up for the massive LED order. I've been thinking about how to do the climate controls. I'll be at the boneyard tomorrow, so I'll be sure to take a look at that.

Nice work man! I'm taking some elex courses in my engineering program, but it's always so much nicer to be doing something real and cool, especially to a car. Keep it up and share when you're done!
Good luck man!

Carot, remember the led job of Jesse James on the CAQ? Do you think it'S almost the same job with our 3rd gen?
