    LED dash cluster

    OK, enough jealous to Hazwan... I am trying so hard to be as creative as him, but never suceed.
    after 2 hours struggled removing the dash cluster (thanks to Hazwan in helping me find those 2 hidden bolts under the steering column), it finally removed.




    I cant afford LED stripes as Haz used for replacing the light bulb, so I bought some regular white LEDs, those with short lenses. and I also bought a piece of perforated PCB, some 560K ohm resistors.
    here they are:




    then.....



    still far far away to perfection. I wish I was as creative as Hazwan, but I love my new dash cluster......



    again, thank you Hazwan for your hints.

    Looks epically good, but you better get some gas soon.

    Thai is a kind of warning light,which lights on evrytime you turn the ignition key. It refers to ajar door(s), open trunk lid and also brake light fault. It will lights on for 5 seconds and turns off itself..

    It also lights up when the oil pressure drops. It happened to me once due to a bad camshaft
