Blue Dash Lights - Update

led_auto_design · March 19, 2004

mmm cool, never worked on the vauxhalls/ fords/ bmw`s (andi goes out to car to try dash dimmer) hehe

Fargo · March 19, 2004

yep the leds ive used are FULLY dimmable.

The only problem ive had is keeping my eyes on the road, keep looking at the blueness.

Can i ask if you have fitted your kit to a lexus yet (only ask as that picture you used is from someone elses gallery) are you aware of the light guides behind the dials,, you need an LED capable of spreading enough light for the guides to pick up the light source, normal LEDs have a very narrow viewing angle,, your i believe are 30 degrees,

I have used the off the shelf 4 LED wedge type bulbs (your one is a single led) and they dont spread the light very well, you have to bend and point the LED directly at eh pickup point for a decent spread..

Anyways i have already ordered a set from you so i can try them out and let the people on LOC know how they are, i must say that yours do look more like the blue i have achieved with the stereo and sat nav etc..

perhaps you can post a picture of your kit on YOUR lex,

Go to this URL mate:

http://www.lexusownersclub.com/gallery/album01

There is a dropdown called Admin options - if you select that you will see the add photos option - select that and a new window will pop up. Just enter the filenames and upload :)

Other way if you're hosting the images yourself is to enter the word url in hard brackets around a url like this (don't forget the slash on the second one):

Just so you guys know, led_auto_design is a SCAM ARTIST!!!! He stole his pictures out of my album and obviously has no proof he can ever do this!!! If he was legit, then why wouldn't he take his own pictures!

led_auto_design you piece of trash, don't even try to say that you didn't steal my pictures.. If you do I will call your sorry ***** out and your reputation will be trashed Admit you stole it, stop using my pics, and I will leave you alone. Trust me, stop using my pictures or you will be contacted by my attorney.

Fargo · March 19, 2004

welcome wxman..

Monster-Mat · March 19, 2004

;) @ wxman, i think you could consider led_auto_design told!!

nice to see u over here aswell

Wxman · March 19, 2004

Thanks guys. I never even knew about this site until recently. Fargo and I are chatting about co-releasing a kit. So you guys know, this project has been a 2 year project for me. There are extreme issues with changing parts of this dash. Specifically the stock clock area is SOOOOO difficult. After tearing these things apart more times than I like to admit, there is a perfect solution. The parts are a few weeks out, but the kit will be available soon. Keep checking with Fargo for details. :)

Fargo · March 19, 2004

2 years marc,, maaaann, have to agree, finding the right LED has been a 'task'

Monster-Mat · March 19, 2004

do u do green...........i say green i dont remember what colour my HKS guages are :duh:

Fargo · March 19, 2004

funny you should say that Mat, i have just been looking into that for mine (seeing as though eVEryone has done blue..

Wxman · March 19, 2004

The solution is done, so changing to other colors is not difficult. I am confident we could do red, green, white, yellow, etc.

Monster-Mat · March 19, 2004

white...........HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

KenG · March 19, 2004

Any prices made up yet?

Wxman · March 19, 2004

We are finalizing that right now. More this coming work week.

yemgi · March 19, 2004

Nice to see you here Wxman, I wanted to buy your kit on .net one year ago but you finally cancel the group buy . Hope this time will be the right one :)

Wxman · March 19, 2004

There have been advances in every aspect of the kit. There were some concerns that I had and I just didn't want to sell something that I felt like was less than perfect. The kit has been perfected in every way and we are already ordering a number of kits. Fargo will be the guy for the UK. He will be the contact point to buy the kit from and the installer for the difficult parts that people don't want to do themselves. Pricing should be finalized this coming week. :) Just an FYI, the radio adds about $50 to the kit, but there are over 40 leds in it!

You have a eBay message regarding the theft of my pictures and I have filed a fraud complaint with eBay. THIEF

If you didn't STEAL pictures from my photos album then you wouldn't have gotten yourself in so much trouble. Fargo told me that your pics just looked like mine. THEY ARE IDENTICAL. Take my pics off your eBay adds or eBay will surely ban you and your ip for fraud.

Edit: I cannot believe you say that you will not be posting pics at all? Are you crazy? You stole my pics and advertised it as your own. I think you have done enough posting of pics!!!!!

Hmmm, not sure what to make of that my friend.

Please understand that this guy was selling his products on eBay using my pictures. I have put an enormous amount of time into this and that was just a complete slap in the face. If the situation was reversed, I think you might feel as cheated as I do.

Why don't you guys quickly release the kit in true kit form...

I can solder Paul ...

White would be nice... like on the LS430 ... Very nice.

It's the A/C section that gives so many a headache. Specifically the clock section that is so difficult. To get a smooth spread there requires some custom work.
