has anyone put white background on their rally gauges?

[steve817]

Yes, I am a believer in white faced gauges now! They look fantastic with dimmable led RGB lights. The pics are a bit fuzzy because they were captured off my video. The "glow" looks amazing and I can change it to any color. I have been working on this LED project for over a year and experimenting with all types of products and finally identified what is needed and how to do it. Anyone reading this may know that I specialize in restoring 68-70 B body Rallye Gauge clusters and bezels. Please pm me with questions/comments. Thanks, Steve

That looks very nice. I'm doing my panel with a long ribbon of RGB lights tucked in there, controllable with a remote control but I left my faces black.

I only used it on the heater control on a '72 rallye dash and I really don't like it.

FYI only need to go to step 4 to install decals 1)Disassemble Cluster and remove the Tic Toc Tach clock/tach unit 2)Remove the clock hands using the following technique with a pair of scissors FIGURE 2 – Showing Technique to safely remove clock hands. 3)Separate clock unit from tach section by undoing two tiny screws on the underside of the clock and a third screw that holds the clock to the tach housing body. 4)Using a screwdriver remove brass contact from clock electrical terminal so that it will be able to slide though the hole in the housing after the grommet has been pushed out.
