Custom triple meter modification...
 

I have all of the interior LED lighting changed except for the triple meters since I already have aftermarket gauges. 2theextreme volunteered to be the first to get the triple meter modified with custom gauge faces and LED colors. Thanks to Alex at Black Cat Custom for the custom gauge faces for the 370Z. In the meantime, he is also working on a custom bezel for the fuel/temp gauge.

For this modification, the gauge faces are white on black for a stock look. The needle paint has been removed. I opted for needle paint, but it looked nasty (like white out). Gauges will light up blue, and the needles will light up white. The clock backlight is white, so the numbers light up white with a blue background (check out my gallery).

Here's a preview before shipping out the gauges to 2theextreme:

in for updates

Brave man!! :tup:

you are a mad man bro :D cant wait to see the end results

it would be nice !!!!

:yum: Will get them installed as soon as I can and also get some night time photos uploaded. :tup: Thanks as always, DIGI! You have been very helpful on many of my minor upgrades!

i did a full LED swap on my old TC too. was my first time trying to solder anything. you definately needs LOTS of patience when doing this. and a steady hand. i remember the LEDs were soo small...that even a heavy breath would blow them all over the place.

Good job!

In for results!!

If you can work on the tC, then you should have no problem working on the Z! :tup:

yup. took me the entire day. did my full gauge cluster and HVAC display.

did you switch out any resistors as well?

I WANTS! Digi!! I wants this lol :rofl2:

I call next! :tup:

I'm watching you DIGI.......... :tup:

:tup: Rep point for the DIGI, and his mods!

Thanks everyone! :tup:

With the blue and white LEDs I had in possession there wasn't any need for the combination meter. As for the triple meter, I didn't have any means of testing it so 2theextreme will be the first to see the result when it gets plugged in.

As for the door switches and HVAC, changing out the resistors may be needed blue. For white, it's bright enough for my taste.
