White Gauge and LED Converstion / Making the Rheostat work with LEDs

[danno 128]

I was not going to mention how cheap I am, but I was going to mention the method I used which worked perfect. I used the original standard bulbs, but lined the back of the cowling and the areas around the tin foil! Plain old Renolds wrap. This increases the reflection by the existing lights a huge amount. This is a take off of the painting the areas with silver paint, but easier, quicker and (did I mention?) cheaper. The gauges show up in their original color, are dimmable just as original, and all gauges are quite visible. I will take a picture of it and start a new post on how I did it. If I was really cheap I would have made a pizza on the Renolds wrap first, but I did not want my car smelling like sausage.
