This monster has almost 40 blue leds hooked together for a combined luminous intensity of 400,000 mcd!! The cluster is off an 01 civic sedan and now has cleared (white) needles and complete blue lighting. The brightness was so intense, I had to use the snowman mode on the camera

well this is for a member if he doesn't want it I'm gonna post it for $180. I normally charge $100 if you send in your cluster.

40 leds isnt that expensive? i got 13 for 23

 
Rep Power: 812

ya i paid around $40 for leds and more for other misc supplies. the leds are very bright tho, 10,000 mcd each. I charge $100 but really i dont make much profit off these once you factor time and materials.

my spare clusters I can usually find for $85 shipped average on ebay which is nice. I think they realized this tho after i bought 3, now they are all $150 lol.

how do u get a power source? i wanna try my lights before putting it back in my car i want as little dark spot as possible

 
Rep Power: 812

well with leds its tricky. they work without resistor on my 12v lantern battery, but for the car 14.4v i need to add resistor. and once i do, they will be much dimmer cause of the voltage difference. just be aware of the differences. I found my battery at farm and fleet. make sure to get 12v, cause most are only 6v or 9v. that way it will be like your car battery with the car off.

i want to see WHITE

 
Rep Power: 266

dude.. dont forget to tell me when you can do the 04s.. but how long dose it take u in case i send mine.. coz idnt have any reserver clusters

 
Rep Power: 812

the problem with white is that its not a pure white. Most of the older clusters don't use clear plastic to print the gauge on. Its more of a brownish color, so white leds look like vanilla color or something lol. I've tried it long ago.

Daaaaamn. Too bright, Gbox!
Other than that, great job! You're like a Dezod but for interior accessories!

 
Rep Power: 317

bahh.. u can clear the needles, surely u can clear the plastic!

 
Rep Power: 812

well the plastic itself is tinted, I already can clear the paint off. maybe i just need brighter leds. I have one more dx cluster I'm gonna try. I'll post a pic for you later... i guess i could always tape off the brown marks so only the numbers and middle ticks light up.
