Reply to "Gauge led bulbs"

I purchased a 1Kohm potentiometer and followed the instructions above. I did have to make a new bezel to work with the smaller mounting of the potentiometer. The calibration (Training) process is simple enough but it did take me a few trys to get it to work, I found that I wasn't moving the knob fast enough at first. Also you need to have a very slight pause at each stop point just as the instruction state. All in all it works great. The fade goes from full on to full off in a very linear fashion. My only complaint is the blue LED on the unit is very very bright. I have not finalized the installation yet but am concerened that it will illuminate the foot well if I mount the unit under the dash just above the original rheostat location. I am going to contact Protizmo and inquire about removing the blue LED or soldering in a tiny switch to turn it off.

Here is a shot of my dash with white LEDs at full brightness. The amp gauge looks brighter in the picture but not in person, I think it might have been the camera angle or something. I tried green LEDs but they were not as bright, maybe I will try a different manufacture. I do like the white and they make the needles really standout.
